Getting Better

Been down so long
I'd begun to think
That the world has passed me by

This poor old heart
Had given up on me
Cause it only made me cry

Day after day
You drift your way into the night
Unless by chance
You wake one day
And hear someone saying
It's gonna be all right

It's getting better
A little better
Since I let her into my life

Just when you think
There's nothing left to lose
It's amazing what you find

Sometimes the one thing
That you're looking for
Is the last thing on your mind

It took some time
But then at last I understood
She stopped me long enough to see
What I was running from
And everywhere I looked
All I could see was good

And it's getting better
A little better
Since I let her into my life.
