lyrics

The Better Part of Me – Words and music by Phil Klahn

My thoughts sad and lonely
Your eyes light the way
Am I the one and only
Can you

Take me to a vista that I never hoped to see
Ordinary places that now have no hold on me
Capturing the pictures of a new reality
Tearing down the posters of my adolescency

I know time will tell the tale
To all who walk this trail
Of hope and empathy
The better part of me

Trust is often frail
and intuitions fail
Take the chance, you'll see
The better part of me

My words, soft and somber
Your ears catch the fire
In this test of honor
Will I

Tell you of the vision that I never dared to dream
Ordinary faces that I have no memory
Holding out the pictures of different destiny
Tearing up the pieces of my animosity

I know time will tell the tale
To all who walk this trail
Of hope and empathy
The better part of me

Trust is often frail
and intuitions fail
Take the chance, you'll see
The better part of me

My thoughts sad and lonely
Your eyes

I know time will tell the tale
To all who walk this trail
Of hope and empathy
The better part of me

Trust is often frail
and intuitions fail
But look inside, you'll see
The better part of me

Good intentions fail
And innocence is frail
Take the chance, you'll see
The better part, better part
The better part of me
