On The Fingers Of One Hand Lyrics - Sonny James

On the fingers of one hand 

On the fingers of one hand 

Life can all be counted 

On the fingers of one hand 

Count your little finger on the day you born 

See the fingernail it's protection from the thorn 

Protection from the thorn of life you choosed you as you grow 

The nail is a guardian until you're a child no more 

On the fingers of one hand 

On the fingers of one hand 

Life can all be counted 

On the fingers of one hand 

Count your second finger as you come of age 

Right and wrong is clearer when you reach this page 

And when you meet a girl you love accordin' to life's plan 

The day you age you count the middle finger of your hand 

On the fingers of one hand 

On the fingers of one hand 

Life can all be counted 

On the fingers of one hand 

When the Lord has blessed you with a tiny air 

Count the final finger say a thankful prayer 

Last of all you're countin' on the day your life is done 

From birth to death is not in vain you live on through your son 

On the fingers of one hand 

On the fingers of one hand 

Life can all be counted 

On the fingers of one hand
