Lyrics

Better Than Before

Verse 1

In the springtime sun
I'd have a smoke
I'd watch the clouds slowly float
I'd wait for Kate to pass my door
But now it's better than before

Verse 2

The noisy tractors from upstate
Would shake the windows and the gate
Now I don't live there anymore
Today is better than before

Chorus

Time went by
And by and by
The better things endure
So I won't cry for days gone by
It's better, it's better

Time went by
And by and by
The better things endure
So I won't cry for days gone by
It's better, it's better

Verse 3

When the lakes all freeze
And the trees turn white
My heart goes back
To those old times
And there's one thing
I know for sure
Today is better than before
