I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing (in Perfect Harmony) Songtext
von Ray Conniff

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′ll stay
with the real thing

It′s the real thing
want to hear what I say
what world means today
with the real thing


I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
(standing hand in hand)
And hear them echo through the hills
Ah, peace throughout the land

I′d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
(In perfect harmony)
A song of peace that echoes on
and never goes away.

It's the real thing
what the world wants today,
That′s the way it'll stay
with the real thing.

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

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
A song of peace that echoes on
and never goes away.
