Is The Better Part Over

(album: Willie's Stash, Vol. 1: December Day - 2014)

Is the better part over?
Has a raging river turned into a stream?
Is the better part over?
Are we down to not quite saying what we mean?

And after thinking it over
Wouldn't you rather have the ending nice and clean
Where love remains in all the closing scenes?
If the better part's over

Why hang around
For an ending that's laden with sorrow?
We've both been around
We've both seen that movie before

And as much as I love you
I can't live while fearing tomorrow
If the better part's over
Then why should we try anymore?

Is the better part over?
Has a raging river turned into a stream?
Is the better part over?
Are we down to not quite saying what we mean?

And after thinking it over
Wouldn't you rather have the ending nice and clean
Where love remains in all the closing scenes
Is the better part over?
