It Don't Cost Very Much
To Smile when you're happy, to smile when you're sad
To look pleasing when mistreated
To be calm when you're mad
Oh, be forgiving if someone abuse you
For the good Lord looks for such
Live right each day and smile on your way
And it don't cost very much
No it don't cost very much well to place a gentle touch
To give a glass of water to a pilgrim in need of such
Well you may not be an angel and you may not go to church
But the good that you do will come on back to you
And it don't cost very much
Help the cripple man by the wayside
Help the blind man across the street
Be careful but kind to strangers
Speak politely to those you meet
To the blind man give him glasses
To the cripple man, give him a crutch
What you do for yourself
You could do for somebody else
It don't cost very much
No it don't cost very much just to place a gentle touch
To give a glass of water to a pilgrim in need of such
Oh you may not be an angel and you may not go to church
But the good that you do will come on back to you
It don't cost very much
To look pleasing when mistreated
To be calm when you're mad
Oh, be forgiving if someone abuse you
For the good Lord looks for such
Live right each day and smile on your way
And it don't cost very much
No it don't cost very much well to place a gentle touch
To give a glass of water to a pilgrim in need of such
Well you may not be an angel and you may not go to church
But the good that you do will come on back to you
And it don't cost very much
Help the cripple man by the wayside
Help the blind man across the street
Be careful but kind to strangers
Speak politely to those you meet
To the blind man give him glasses
To the cripple man, give him a crutch
What you do for yourself
You could do for somebody else
It don't cost very much
No it don't cost very much just to place a gentle touch
To give a glass of water to a pilgrim in need of such
Oh you may not be an angel and you may not go to church
But the good that you do will come on back to you
It don't cost very much
