Less of Me

Loretta Lynn · Coal Miner's Daughter [1971]

Let me be a little kinder let me be a little blinder

To the faults of those around me let me praise a little more

Let me be when I am weary just a little bit more cheery

Think a little more of others and a little less of me.



Let me be a little braver when temptation bids me waver

Let me strive a little harder to be all that I should be

Let me be a little meeker with the brother that is weaker

Let me think more of my neighbors and a little less of me.

Let me be when I am weary just a little bit more cheery

Let me serve a little harder for those I'm striving for

Let me be a little meeker with the brother that is weaker

Think a little more of others and a little less of me.



Let me be a little kinder let me be a little blinder

To the faults of those around me let me praise a little more

Let me be when I am weary just a little bit more cheery

Think a little more of others and a little less of me.



Let me be a little braver when temptation bids me waver

Let me strive a little harder to be all that I should be

Let me be a little meeker with the brother that is weaker

Let me think more of my neighbors and a little less of me.



Let me be a little kinder let me be a little blinder

To the faults of those around me let me praise a little more

Let me be when I am weary just a little bit more cheery

Think a little more of others and a little less of me...
