Is The Better Part Over Lyrics - December Day: Willie's Stash, Vol. 1 - Bobbie Nelson

Is the better part over? 

Has a ragin' river turned into a stream? 

Is the better part over? 

Are we down to not quite sayin' what we mean? 

And after thinkin' it over 

Wouldn't you rather have the endin' nice and clean 

Where love remains in all the closing scenes? 

If the better part's over 

Why hang around 

For an endin' that's laden with sorrow? 

We've both been around 

We've both seen that movie before 

And as much as I love you 

I can't live while fearin' tomorrow 

If the better part's over 

Then why should we try anymore? 

Is the better part over? 

Has a ragin' river turned into a stream? 

Is the better part over? 

Are we down to not quite sayin' what we mean? 

And after thinkin' it over 

Wouldn't you rather have the endin' nice and clean 

Where love remains in all the closing scenes 

Is the better part over?
