I was very sad last night
|
You came by
|
I was so glad though sadness covered
|
The smile I kept for you
|
I was waiting for the cloud to pass over
|
Then I could show my love
|
|
You could have made me laugh if you'd stayed
|
But you left
|
I was more confused than I was before you came
|
I was frightened
|
I saw insanity and tears
|
I shouted for you to stay
|
|
It could have been better
|
If you had held my hand
|
And smiled at me
|
Or questioned why
|
My face was so distorted
|
|
I'm back in the sunlight again
|
Oh I'm so glad
|
It's only joy I wanna give to you
|
Sometimes I feel lost and desperate
|
Please forgive me
|
If I show no sign of reasoning
|
Or consideration
|
In my bleaker times
|
|

It Could Have Been Better
