Lyrics
KINDNESS by Karen Loveless/Buc Williams 2026 (ASCAP)
[V1]
I've always been a sucker for stories that touch my soul
Like the guy that saw a woman broke down on the road
He pulled up right beside her, said, can I help you ma'am?
She said my tire just blew out, mind lending me hand
[Pre-Chorus]
He said, don't you worry none I'll get your tire changed
In a few it'll be good as new and you'll be on your way
[Chorus]
An act of kindness travels further than you think
It reaches far beyond what the eyes can see
It leaves a mark on your heart and stays in your memory
Kindness, it costs nothing, but it means, everything
[V2]
And then there's the story 'bout a man on his way home
He stopped by the flower shop and bought his wife a rose
He walked in the front door, he said honey this is for you
It's just my way of saying thanks for everything you do
[Chorus]
An act of kindness travels further than you think
It reaches far beyond what the eyes can see
It leaves a mark on your heart and stays in your memory
Kindness, it costs nothing, but it means, everything
[Outro]
It leaves a mark on your heart and stays in your memory
Kindness, it costs nothing, but it means, everything
Yeah, it does
Kindness is the purest form of love
