Sonny James - On The Fingers Of One Hand lyrics

rate me

On the fingers of one hand on the fingers of one hand

Life can all be counted on the fingers of one hand

Count your little finger on the day you you're born

See the fingernail it's protection from the thorn

Protection from the thorn of life you choosed it shields you as you grow

The nail is a guardian until you're a child no more

On the fingers of one hand...

Count your the second finger as when you come of age

Right and wrong is clearer when you reach this page stage

And when you meet a the girl you love accordin' to life's plan

The day you age wed you count the middle finger of your hand

On the fingers of one hand...

When the Lord has blessed you with a tiny air heir

Count the final finger and say a thankful prayer

Last of all you're countin' on you count the thumb the day your life is done

From birth to death is not in vain you live on through your son

On the fingers of one...
