Lyrics Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett

The Best Thing Is to Be a Person

There was a man

Looked up to Heaven

And he said, “Lord, what good am I?

I feel so unimportant that it makes me want to cry.

What should I do, Lord? Please answer me.”

The Lord said, “Sure son, I’ll tell you what to be:

The best thing to be is a person.

Just a person who loves is fellow man.

The best thing to be is a person.

Just a person who does the best he can.”
