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
|
Until true love is added to these handfuls of dust
|
Handful of dust handful of dust sums up the richest and poorest of us
|
True love makes priceless the worthless whenever it's added to a handful of dust
|

|
However small though our worth may be when shared between two hearts
|
Is even more than it would ever be measured on its 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
|
Handful of dust...
|
Handful of dust...
