[00:00.68]Is the better part over
[00:07.57]Has a ragin' river turned into a stream
[00:15.28]Is the better part over
[00:21.28]Are we down to not quite sayin' what we mean
[00:28.87]And after thinkin' it over
[00:35.98]Wouldn't you rather have the endin' nice and clean
[00:42.00]Where love remains in all the closing scenes
[00:48.36]If the better part's over
[00:55.59]Why hang around
[00:58.94]For an endin' that's laden with sorrow
[01:07.80]We've both been around
[01:11.56]We've both seen that movie before
[01:20.40]And as much as I love you
[01:23.72]I can't live while fearin' tomorrow
[01:31.02]If the better part's over
[01:35.80]Then why should we try anymore
[01:42.94]Is the better part over
[01:49.33]Has a ragin' river turned into a stream
[01:57.05]Is the better part over
[02:03.27]Are we down to not quite sayin' what we mean
[02:10.70]And after thinkin' it over
[02:17.75]Wouldn't you rather have the endin' nice and clean
[02:23.61]Where love remains in all the closing scenes
[02:30.67]Is the better part over
