A touch in the trees with a gentle
breeze to let me know it's there
I can hear the children laugh
ing like raindrops on the sea
I wish I could sustain that
Oh, well, I haven't got much time
But I'm hoping that I might
I want some goodness for the lovin'
a little life for the living
That's the way it could be, that's the way it should be,
waits the whole year round
She knows our needs and she plants the
Christmas bells will ring
Dreams are fed, our prayers are said
while we wait for the spring
And the winter's gonna be spring,
I'm hopin' that it might bring love for the lovin'
I want some goodness for the good,
the gifts for the givin', a little love for the livin'
That's the way it could be, that's the way it should be,
I wake to watch the morning,
Relentless are the hands of time,
they steal each year away
But in the sky the stars are spinning,
making circles round the sun.
Days of darkness, days of light,
you've got to take them as they come.
Hear the universe spin, can't you hear me,
I'm singing about love for the love.
Now I want some goodness for the good
A little life for the living
That's the way that it could be
That's the way it should be
