I Know I Got More Than My Share
Composer(s): Grant Clarke; Howard Johnson



To every one beneath the sun, God sends his blessings down
Like dew they fall upon us all, in every home they're found
To some a name, to others fame, His gifts are every where
The poor man and the rich a like, will both receive their share

Through life we go and never know what future years may hold
The skies of gray may fade away and some day turn to gold
So don't complain there's naught to gain, just learn to live and love
We all must wait to learn our fate, and trust to Him above

God gives the wise men their wisdom, sends all the poets their dreams 
To father and mother their love for each other we all get a share, so it seems 
I thought that I was forgotten 
My life was an empty affair
But He thought of me too, and when God gave me you
I know I got more than my share
