My life, it don't count for nothing.
|
When I look at this world, I feel so small.
|
My life, it's only a season:
|
A passing September that no one will recall.
|
|
But I gave joy to my mother.
|
And I made my lover smile.
|
And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting.
|
And I can make it seem better for a while.
|
|
My life, it's half the way travelled,
|
And still I have not found my way out of this night.
|
An' my life, it's tangled in wishes,
|
And so many things that just never turned out right.
|
|
But I gave joy to my mother.
|
And I made my lover smile.
|
And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting.
|
And I can make it seem better,
|
I can make it seem better,
|
I can make it seem better for a while.
|
|
Oh, oh oh.
|
Oh oh.
|
