Better By Far

Better By Far - Danny Vaughn

If we meet in the clearing

I will hold you once again

All us road weary men

Will be young ones again

And I'll laugh and

I'll call you my friend

There's a lifetime in

Your handshake

There's a fire that's still

Burning bright

We'll start over again and

We'll laugh at our sins

When we hold ourselves up to the light

There comes a time of forgiving

To fearlessly tally your scars

Of all of the times we

Have lived through

Now this one is better by far

If we ever get to heaven

We will have such a gathering there

There's a dozen lost friends

That I know in the end

Will have so many stories to share

And oh but how I have missed you

And I've longed to find out how you are

Of all of the roads that we've rambled

Now this one is better by far

Better by far

When the currency of life

Is the counting of friends

Better by far

To be loving the journey

Than to live for the end

If I glance over my shoulder

I with see the steps

Leading me here

If I gaze at the horizon

Then the length of my

Travels comes clear

Sure as one foot

Will follow another

I will never lose sight of the stars

With all of your bright

Lights around me

Forever is better by far

Better by far

Better by far
