The Better Part of Life Lyrics

If a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you
The words will never show the you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships then where am I to go
There's no one home but you you're all that's left me to
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me
If I could be two places at one time I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you and when the world was through

Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away
[ mandolin - banjo ]
If a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you
Cause the words will never show the you I've come to know
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away fly away
