It’s Getting Better
©2002JamesRussell


He stood on the porch knocking on the door
As his mind drifted back / Back to the time
When he made her smile / When he was her man
That was before she told him that he had to go

Now she is back on his mind / Hurting him again
The smell of her perfume and her soft touch
Was his until he got caught with another woman
Picking up the kids was always hard to do

(Chorus)
It’s been one year / A lifetime to him
Losing her still hurts but it’s getting better
Now it only hurts when he looks into her eyes

V2
Here it is another Sunday
Time to take the kids back home
One more mile and he’s back again
Back to the hurt of losing her

She’s standing on the porch
Her hair blowing in the wind
The truck in the driveway means he lost again
He hid his tears as he said bye to the kids

(Chorus)
It’s been five years / A lifetime to him
Losing her still hurts but it’s getting better
Now it only hurts when he looks into her eyes

V3
He found a new love to ease the pain
The new love doesn’t last and he’s alone again
The smell of his true love’s perfume and her soft touch
Keeping him company as the years went by

The grandkids made his life happy
Their birthdays brought her back to him
He never crosses the line of their unspoken truce
But he can’t stop from looking into her eyes

(Chorus)
It’s been thirty years / A life time to him
Losing her still hurts but it’s getting better
Now it only hurts when he looks into her eyes

V4
He didn’t show up for the breakfast with the kids
Tears came silently as they learned the truth
They found him on his bed with a picture of her
He must have known that his end was near

Bridge
Across her picture were these words he had wrote

One mistake cost me a lifetime of love
A lonely lifetime except for the kids
Losing her still hurts but it’ll be better
Now I won’t have to look into her eyes

Now I won’t have to look into her eyes
