A Handful of Dust (Album Version)

A Handful of Dust (Album Version) - Don Williams

Handful of Dust Handfuls of Dust

True love makes perfect these handfuls of dust

We'll break us down by our elements

And you might think he failed

We're not copper for one penny

Or even iron for one nail

And a dollar would be plenty to buy twenty of us

Till true love is added to these handfuls of dust

A handful of dust a handful of dust

Sums up the richest and poorest of us

And true love makes priceless the worthless

Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust

However small though our worth may be

When shared between two hearts

Is evermore than it would ever be

Measured on it's own apart

And our half what it could be

Is now twice what it was

When true love is added to these handfuls of dust

A handful of dust a handful of dust

Sums up the richest and poorest of us

And true love makes priceless the worthless

Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust

Handfuls of dust

Sums up the richest and poorest of us

And true love makes priceless the worthless

Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust
