I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing (In Perfect Harmony)

I'd like to build the world a home And furnish it with love Grow apple trees and honey bees And snow-white turtle doves I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony I'd like to hold it in my arms And keep it company It's the real thing What the world wants today That's the way it will stay With the real thing It's the real thing Won't you hear what I say? What the world needs today Is the real thing I'd like to see the world for once All standing hand in hand And hear them echo through the hills For peace throughout the land It's the real thing I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony A song of peace that echoes on And never goes away It's the real thing I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony I like to hold it in my arm And keep it company It's the real thing --- I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony) - Ray Conniff
