A Better Life

I REMEMBER WHEN LOVE WAS DYING
THE LAUGHING IN BETWEEN THE CRYING
WITH MEMPHIS BEARING WITNESS
WE CAME TO OUR DIMISE
THE WHOLE THING WAS CAUGHT ON KODAK
WHEELS IN MOTION WE COULD NOT TURN BACK
WHAT BEGAN AS THE SWEETEST LOVE SONG
BECAME OUR GREAT GOODBYE
THERE’S ONE THING I MEANT TO TELL YOU
I KNOW IT’S TOO LATE TO TRY AND SELL YOU
IT’S JUST AN OBSERVATION
THAT I’VE COME TO OVER TIME
(CHORUS)
IT’S A BETTER LIFE
I LEARNED FROM LOVING YOU
I CAN SEE A SOFTER SIDE
TO THINGS THAT PEOPLE DO
I LOOK FOR GRACE NOW IN MORE PLACES
SEE MORE LOVE IN PEOPLE’S FACES
I LEARNED THAT FROM YOU
IT’S A BETTER LIFE
THAT WINTER WAS COLD AND LONELY
AND I MISSED YOU SO BADLY
IF WOULD BE’S WERE ONLY COULD BE’S
I’D BE THERE WITH YOU NOW
BUT LIFE HAS A WAY OF TRAPPING
THINGS THAT JUST WEREN’T MEANT TO HAPPEN
I CAN SEE THAT NOW WITH HINDSIGHT
WE’RE BOTH BETTER OFF SOMEHOW
THERE’S ONE THING I MEANT TO TELL YOU
I KNOW IT’S TOO LATE TO TRY AND SELL YOU
IT’S HOW GRATEFUL I AM TO KNOW YOU
TO HAVE HAD YOU IN MY LIFE
CHORUS
