Lyrics

Better Time

You couldn't have come at a better time
You couldn't have made it a straighter line
In all the world i think of you
You couldn't have saved me from a worse time

You couldn't have made me a better wife
I couldn't have waited for a better life
But why'd it have to take so long
To find out it was our own time

Oh, when you grow up to
Think of why it's so cold
Oh, when you're old
Then you realize
There was no
Better time

You couldn't have come at a better time
We knew not to let it be a waste of time
In all the world i wait for you
Like the fading willow and the morning dew

You couldn't have made me a better life
You couldn't have cut it with a straighter knife
But why do we have to wait so long
To lie in the wake of our swan song
(such a sweet song)
