Count Your Blessings


Pink Think: “When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.” – Willie Nelson

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am posting lyrics to one of my favorite songs of all time, and which was also a lullaby my father used to sing to me.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
from the 1954 movie White Christmas

When I’m worried and I can’t sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep counting my blessings

When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep counting my blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds

If you’re worried and you can’t sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you’ll fall asleep counting your blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds

If you’re worried and you can’t sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you’ll fall asleep counting your blessings

living in a free country

music
