It's a Little More Like Heaven - Hank Locklin

There's water underneath just about every bridge I ever set my feet on So, I'd like to give the benefit of a Doubt to those that just can't get a read on Oh, 'cause when I think I'm doing pretty good There's always something else Oh, 'cause every time I think I've Learned all that I need about the world I'll learn a little more I've never listened too much, But so many times, I've wished I haven't spoken If I could see through anger, Would I discover people that are broken, or hurting?
