A Better Place

when i got there she wasn’t there alone
oh, it tore my i was driving it was
raining on my way to bring her roses
world to pieces, to know we’d never be together
so i said good bye and headed off down the road
i couldnt see for the tears and rain,
i heard the crash and i felt the pain
and my life was over just like that
but i’m in a better place, no more tears on my face
up here above the clouds i can see clearly now
she was my reason for living and after all the love i’ve given
i never dreamed i’d die with this heartache
oh, but i’m in a better place
now she’s standing there crying, like she’s dying to hold me
too bad, she waited too late
i spent most of my life just trying to make her love me
i can’t believe what it took to finally make her look my way
the preacher man sends up a prayer, the organ music fills the air
and the choir sings as they carry me away
but i’m in a better place, no more tears on my face
up here above the clouds i can see clearly now
she was my reason for living and after all the love i’ve given
i never dreamed i’d die with this heartache
oh, but i’m in a better place
oh, she was my reason for living and after all the love i’ve given
i never dreamed i’d die with this heartache
oh, but i’m in a better place
