Lyrics
The Better Part
(Kern/Ratts)
You're one in a million
A raft in an ocean
A small glimpse of heaven
In a world of weeds
A full moon at midnight
A lone ray of sunlight
A soft silver lining
On the gray edge of me
So I find you wandering 'round my head
Looking down on where we could be instead
Though I honor the lives that we left for dead
I'm grateful...
And I know
You're everywhere that I go
The sunlight through my window
The moonlight on my sea
And today
You're the wind behind me
My open desert highway
The better part of me
You're hope in a dark place
The end of the long maze
In a life full of Mondays
You're Friday evening
If you find me wandering 'round your mind
Dodging echos of things that you left behind
For the promise of all that we still might find
I'm grateful...
And I know
You're everywhere that I go
My Venus de Milo
My Aphrodite
And today
You're my life's Salome
My open desert highway
The better part of me
