Susan: [Go on, Gordon.] Gordon: When skies are grey and days are dark And life kinda gets you down Don't sit, knit your brows and frown Don't jump in the creek and drown Reach out one time to find a friend And then you will understand That life's worth living Living hand in hand Susan: When you're feeling downhearted When you're lower than dust When you're feeling so downright mean You could practically bust When your friends have departed And there isn't a good thing you can see Reach out your hand, baby You can lean on me Both: The more you want me near you The nearer I'll be I'm reaching out to cheer you
And you can lean on me The more the joy of giving The greater the gift So share the life you're living And see your spirits lift repeat first two verses overlapping each other The more you want me near you The nearer I'll be I'm reaching out to cheer you And you can lean on me The more the joy of giving The greater the gift So share the life you're living And see your spirits lift It's beautiful to live your life With people who understand That life's worth living Living hand in hand Yes, life's worth living Living hand in ... Living, living, living hand in hand!
