Donna Fargo - You Can't Be A Beacon (If Your Light Don't Shine) Lyrics

Fantastic song... such a beautiful woman and a beautiful voice

Don’t just sing this song listen to what she is saying!

lovely song from a lovely lady who passed away far too young.

Dis ish 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Do any one of you recall when Donna Fargo sang ( live ) , One Day At A Time , and on what show that was ? ..As usual , google can't grasp it .

I just heard this on a Country Classics radio station from Galax, VA , I live in Greensboro, NC, the DJ after this song played mentioned Donna is from Mount Airy, NC 50 miles from me, essentially Mayberry the hometown of Andy Griffith. I hadn't heard this since the 70's what a treat, also love Donna's rendition of Paul Anka Song "Do I love you".

Still here in 2019. Love this song. ❤️

fantastic song seriously sooo catchy

Donna Fargo is wearing beauitful biboveralls and pink shirt

Donna Fargo is so talented most of her songs cannot be sung by anybody but her.

This song is so truthful and is where the world misses it so much.

truer words never spoken

who would thumbs down this? Muslims? Liberals? Who???

Heard this the other day,so true back then and even more so today. I love her music!!!!!

When I was growing up in the 1970s I loved the following female singers: Olivia Newton John, Karen Carpenter, Emmy Lou Harris, Dolly Parton, and, Donna Fargo. Those are the ranks in which I put Donna Fargo. I know she had serious medical problems by the late Seventies which prevented her continuing performing and song writing, but, she still had an impact on me. I love this song!!!!

She sounds like Loretta Lynn!

Seen this beautiful lady back in 1976 with The Statler Brothers in Jackson, Mississippi, awesome show!!, true country singers, when country music was still country music.

In the late 70s and early 80s, my family was close with this wonderful woman. When my sister passed away, Donna Fargo wrote my mom a letter. We used to go see her at Knott's Berry Farm all of the time. I have a ton of pictures (somewhere) of me being held up by someone to give her presents while she was on stage or hugging her back stage. She is an amazing woman and talent that MS has tried to keep from us.

You can tell that she has MS in this video. I have MS so I recognize the way she stands and holds her arm.

AaaaaaaaMen!!

Loved her then, love her now!

We love you Donna! One of the very biggest hits in all of Country Music History! She was the No. 1 Female Vocalist of the 1970's! It's hard t o believe how big she was.....No. 1 by far in Country Music in 1970's!

I have always tried to do what the song says and be a shining beacon.

This is so true, and so many are not letting their light shine to help the hungry, homeless, pollution, hate, and treating others like they don't count.

She is simply wonderful - original, and honest in her ways, prayers and music!

Too bad country is not like this today. All the new stuff is crap

"You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine", Farrah Fawcett-Majors line from I Will Be Remembered, Episode 20, Charlie's Angels 1977 😊

Stupid duh don't put songs that aren't available don't be an idiot people like myself really like these songs like I said don't put out there and put it private it doesn't make any sense to all us viewers out here get the message?

what a message

Great song great Character!

I grew up listening to this wonderfully talented lady. As a young singer she was one of my stylistic influences.

God bless Donna Fargo; a true original.

I love all this older music

donna fargo the best

A VERY true song then and now Thanks for uploading and sharing this. God
bless you :)

Love this Singer and song! She's from a County not too far from me I would love to meet her, if she is still living, I grew up singing her songs!

Carolyn Smith Donna Fargo still alive and she is 71 years old

Carolyn Smith Yes she is still alive now 72 years old married and lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Corny but believe it's true.

Rather be my self than a fucking Beacon

tony black yes, you should be yourself. The concern is, why is yourself not a beacon?

you have a very poor self image. You should find Jesus.

There is a real good singer,they don't make them like her any more

Nothing takes the place of a good example. She is right....:)   Good song...:)

saw her in arlington heights future of america fair ,illinois and got a kiss with her ---great memory

very true!!!

Amen!!!

VJ H Perfect, just one word

Less is More

You can't be a beacon
If your light don't shine
You can't be a beacon
If your light don't shine
There's a little light
In all of us by God's design
But you can't be a beacon
If your light don't shine

How can you ask for truth
When you do not truthful live
How can you ask forgiveness
When you don't forgive

I don't mean to bring you down
Or speak to you unkind
But you can't be a beacon
If your light don't shine

You can't be a beacon
If your light don't shine
You can't be a beacon
If your light don't shine
There's a little light
In all of us by God's design
But you can't be a beacon
If your light don't shine

How can you ask a child
To be honest and true
When he can only judge what's right
By what he sees in you

How can you offer vision
Yet walk around blind
No, you can't see a beacon
If it's light don't shine

You can't be a beacon
If your light don't shine
You can't be a beacon
If your light don't shine
There's a little light
In all of us by God's design
But you can't be a beacon
If your light don't shine

May God's love surround you
May you find a brighter day
May He grant you the peace
You seek in every way

God's light burns
In each life, yours and mine
And you can be a beacon
If you just let it shine

You can be a beacon
If you let it shine
You can be a beacon
If you let it shine

There's a little light in
All of us by God's design
You can be a beacon
If you let it shine

You can be a beacon
If you let it shine
You can be a beacon
If you let it shine

There's a little light in
All of us by God's design
You can be a beacon
If you let it shine

You can be a beacon
If you let it shine
You can be a beacon
If you let it shine

There's a little light in
All of us by God's design
You can be a beacon
If you let it shine

it's very good too liñentwo

she so good if you,like some one like her I never heard off her be fore
