Out Where the West BEGINS

Out where the hand clasps little stronger,
Out where a smile dwells q little longer
That's where the west begins :.
Out where the sun Is a little brighter,
Where the SHOWS that fall are 4 tr1fe whittier,
Where the bonds of home are wee bit tighter,
That's where the west begins
Out where the skies arc . trihe bluer,
Out where the friendships little truer,
That's where the west begins
Out where freeher breeze Is blowing;
Where there IS laughter in every streamet flowing,
Where there is more of reapng and less of sowing
That's where the west begins
Out where the world Is i'm the making,
Where fewer hearts with despair are aching,
That's where the west begins :.
Where there is more of singing and less of siehins
Where there is more OF giving and less Of buying,
And man makes friends without half trying
That's wherc the west begins.
