I Could Use "A Little Good News"

Yes, I'm blogging twice today! Hard to believe since I let five months go without blogging at all. This blog, however is a little different for me. It is a continuing effort to find the piano music to one of my favorite songs; Anne Murray's A Little Good News Today. I've searched the internet and an occasional music store. I'm hoping that someone who may read this blog can help me. In the mean time, here are the words to this song. Although it's several years old, I think you'll agree it is very applicable today. And . . . if you know where I can get a copy of the sheet music, please let me know.

A Little Good News Today

I rolled out this morning
The kids had the morning news show on
Bryant Gumbel was talking about the fighting in Lebanon
Some senator was squawking about the bad economy
It's gonna get worse you see
We need a change in policy.

There's a local paper rolled up in the rubber band
One more sad story's one more than I can stand
Just once how I'd like to see the headline say
Not much to print today, can't find nothing bad to say.

Because ... nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single building down
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today.

I'll come home this evening
I bet that the news will be the same
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
How I wanna hear the anchor man, talk about a county fair
And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care.

Oh tell me ... nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today
And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play
And everybody loves everybody in the good ol' USA
We sure could use a little good news today.
