BETTER DAYS Written by Bobby Brennan

Verse: There must not be enough smiles up in heaven for god to take this child away from us. So don't put a question mark where god has put a period Some things are the way they are just because I stepped out of the church and thought life sure ain't kind No one said a word but it was on everybody's mind Chorus: I've seen better days Better Days than this I've seen better days Better Days than this Verse: Shoebox full of tickets, his day had finally come Standing in the lotto office giving an imprint of his thumb Flashbulbs went off just as he hit the floor Heart attack victim at the age of forty-four And when they asked him, "Sir, are you ok?" He looked up and smiled and said: Chorus: I've seen better days Better Days than this I've seen better days Better Days than this Verse: This old guy lived in a room, 10x12 Surrounded from floor to ceiling With his books up on the shelf And when the quake hit They came tumbling from above The man was buried alive by the writers that he loved And later that night when the dogs sniffed him out The rescue workers swear they could hear him shout,

Chorus: I've seen better days Better Days than this I've seen better days Better Days than this Bridge: Sometimes you feel like nothings going right You're living in the shadow of some kind of curse And when you re darkest hour is upon you in the night Remember things could be a lot worse Verse: Stepped off the curb Didn't see it coming Can't believe this is happening today An old lady makes the sign of the cross The paramedics say, "son you re gonna be ok" I motion for the young girl to lean in close Just to hear my whisper say, Chorus: I've seen better days Better Days than this I've seen better days Better Days than this I've seen better days Better Days than this I've seen better days Better Days than this Fade out chorus Music & Lyrics copyright by Bobby Brennan
