Counting My Blessings


Counting my blessings"

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

~Irving Berlin ~
