Better Part Of Life Lyrics - Dolly Parton

If a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you 

The words will never show the you I've come to know 

If a face could launch a thousand ships then where am I to go 

There's no one home but you you're all that's left me to 

And when my love for life is running dry 

You come and pour yourself on me 

If I could be two places at one time I'd be with you 

Tomorrow and today beside you all the way 

If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die 

I'd spend the end with you and when the world was through 

Then one by one the stars would all go out 

Then you and I would simply fly away 

[ mandolin - banjo ] 

If a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you 

Cause the words will never show the you I've come to know 

Then one by one the stars would all go out 

Then you and I would simply fly away fly away
