For Better Or For Worse (but Not For Long)

Jimmy Newman


The wedding bells have barely stopped their ringing
But already all your love for me is gone
On the day that we were wed well I guess we should have said
For better or for worse but not for long

My dream of love has turned into a nightmare
For you say that in your life I don't belong
You said your vows I said mine but we both left out the line
For better or for worse but not for long
[ piano ]
The lifetime that we planned has been a short one
And the love that couldn't die did not live long
I wanted you eternaly but you only wanted me
For better or for worse but not for long
