Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good - Don Williams

Footsteps without a sound I'm coming home to you Snowfall blankets the ground It covers the ugly truth Things that we hide from view I get tired around this time I blame it on the cold daylight Bring your arms around me fast Warm my bones and fill my glass God, I hope this year's better than The last A candle burns in a choir Held with a righteous hand And I'm reminded... of a silent night All for a broken man One I don't understand I get tired around this time But I will try to make things right Bring your arms around me fast Warm my bones and fill my glass God, I hope we'll be better than The past I wake up around this time Your sweet face will fill my eyes Wrap me up and hold me fast Carry on and don't look back God, I hope this year's better than The last

I have so many questions and places to go There are too many options, far too many unknowns This is why I need you And everyone talks now, but no one is right There are too many armies with no one to fight This is why I need you 'Cause you make the darkness less dark You make the edges less sharp You make the winter feel warmer You make my weakness less weak You make the bottom less deep You make the waiting feel shorter You make my crazy feel normal every time You are the who, love is the what and this is the why There are so many problems and no one who cares There are so many roads and they all need repairs This is why I need you There's not enough chocolate, there's too many chores There are so many mountains that I haven't explored This is why I need you 'Cause you make the darkness less dark You make the edges less sharp You make the winter feel warmer You make my weakness less weak You make the bottom less deep You make the waiting feel shorter You make my crazy feel normal every time You are the who, love is the what and this is the why You keep the ship moving forward You make it easy to try You make my crazy feel normal every time You are the who, love is the what and this is the why You are the who, love is the what and this is the why You are the who, love is the what and this is the why

Lorrie lit a cigarette and smiled and waved the smoke out of her face With her black hair brown from the summer sun Green eyes looked around the place And she told me that she loved me And I grinned and grabbed her hand and said, "I know" Let's get from here, now darling if we're going, let's go on and go Well, Lorrie said her family used to have a little money And they still act like they do Well, your daddy don't think I'm fit to sit in the same room with you And if I ever set foot in Sevier county, well your brother said he'd break my jaw And here I sit with the dark haired daughter of Southwest Arkansas And I've been learning that believing and that barely breaking even It's just a part of life for you and me And I've been living with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones I guess It's just another phase of being free And I've been learning how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong Well D-Queens dry so I bought us both a bottle in downtown Broken Bow Lorries got a buddy with a double wide trailer they were shaking dominoes And I had good intentions 'til I had too many, I was stupid I suppose You better put a little money where your mouth is boy and try to keep it closed And I've been learning that believing and that barely breaking even It's just a part of life for you and me And I've been living with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones I guess It's just another phase of being free And I've been learning how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong Well Lorrie said I wonder what we ever went through all this trouble for You ain't half of who I thought you was and this ain't fun no more And her words cut clean through drunk and dark and dimmin' doorway light Well I've had all I can handle, hope you're happy now, goodnight Guess her folks were right, guess her folks were right Mhmmm And I've been learning that believing and that barely breaking even It's just a part of life for you and me And I've been living with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones I guess It's just another phase of being free And I've been learning how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong

Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
