Send A Little Love My Way Henry Mancini and Hal David, from the movie Oklahoma Crude, Anne Murray (#72 in 1973)

If I could be any tree in the ground,
I'd want to be a tree where the birds hang around,
'Cause ev'rybody needs to be loved and I'm no exception,
I was born to reject rejection.
If only for today, send a little love my way.

If I could be any bird that I choose,
I'd want to be a bird with a nest you would use,
'Cause ev'rybody needs to go home when the day has ended,
To be loved and to be befriended,
If only for today, send a little love my way.

Ev'ry day begins with hope,
No on ever needs despair,
Hand in hand we all can cope,
Each of us alone is only half a pair, we've got to share.

If I could be any star up above,
I'd want to be a star people wish on for love,
'Cause ev'rybody needs to be loved and I'm no exception,
I was born to reject rejection.
If only for today,
Show me that you want me,
Show me that you need me,
Send a little love my way.
