“Is The Better Part Over”
Has a ragin’ river turned into a stream?
Is the better part over?
Are we down to not quite sayin’ what we mean?
And after thinkin’ it over
Wouldn’t you rather have the endin’ nice and clean
Where love remains in all the closing scenes?
If the better part’s over
Why hang around
For an endin’ that’s laden with sorrow?
We’ve both been around
We’ve both seen that movie before
And as much as I love you
I can’t live while fearin’ tomorrow
If the better part’s over
Then why should we try anymore?
Is the better part over?
Has a ragin’ river turned into a stream?
Is the better part over?
Are we down to not quite sayin’ what we mean?
And after thinkin’ it over
Wouldn’t you rather have the endin’ nice and clean
Where love remains in all the closing scenes
Is the better part over?
