May Your Kindness Remain

(album: May Your Kindness Remain - 2018)

You're a good woman and a good friend
You've got a good heart, even when it's busted and bent
Lipstick and perfume, underground queen
Wearing loneliness like a costume for the whole world to see

And if your money runs out
And your good looks fade
May your kindness remain
Oh, may your kindness remain

Broke on a barstool, throwing your paycheck away
On overpriced booze, slots, and valet
Fortune might buy you diamonds, all shiny and new
But it can't buy you happiness or love that is true

And if your money runs out
And your good looks fade
May your kindness remain
Oh, may your kindness remain

The richest of people aren't rich with houses, cars, or fame
No, they're not rich with something that can be bought or arranged
No, it's kindness that makes them beautiful and a kind heart don't cost a dime
It's a gift that keeps giving for the rest of your life

And if your money runs out
And your good looks fade
May your kindness remain
Oh, may your kindness remain
May your kindness remain
Oh, may your kindness remain
