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.
