lyrics

Tell me again,
how it used to when
blues skies and apple pie
where the constants
in this life of mine -
Tell me again babe,
where did it go?
Slept through a winter
and woke still in snow -

It used to seem you’d always be
some better part of me but now
I only see the rain fall down
and drowning in the pool
a reflection of someone I knew
no it cannot be…

the better part of me
no it ain’t gone yet you’ll see
it’s just hangin’ on -

like a sparkle in a rolling stream
it’s there before it slips between
the constant state of forward motion -
you can’t hold a memory,
you can’t live forever ya see,
but ya gotta hold on to the
better of me
cause it ain’t gone yet you see
