I THINK YOU'RE WONDERFUL
~Red Grammer

I think you're wonderful
When somebody says that to me
I feel wonderful, as wonderful can be
It makes me want to say the same thing to somebody new
And by the way I've been meaning to say
I think you're wonderful too!

If we practice this phrase in the most honest way
And find something special in someone each day
We'll lift up the world one heart at a time
It all starts by saying this one simple line...

CHORUS
When each one of us feels important inside
Loving and giving and glad we're alive
Oh what a difference we'll make in each day
And all because someone decided to say...

CHORUS
And by the way I've meaning to say...
I think you're wonderful too!

BE A FRIEND
Tune: If you‚re happy and you know it

If you want to be a friend,
Clap your hands! (clap, clap)
If you want to be a friend,
Clap your hands! (clap, clap)
When you smile every day
And you're kind in every way,
Then you ARE a special friend.
Clap your hands! (clap, clap)

SHARING AMONG FRIENDS
Tune: Are you sleeping?

Are you sharing? Are you sharing?
Be a friend, Be a friend.
Sharing leads to caring. Caring leads to sharing.
What a friend! What a friend!
