My life, it don't count for nothing. When I look at this world, I feel so small. My life, it's only a season: A passing September that no one will recall.
But I gave joy to my mother. And I made my lover smile. And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting. And I can make it seem better for a while.
My life, it's half the way travelled, And still I have not found my way out of this night. An' my life, it's tangled in wishes, And so many things that just never turned out right.
But I gave joy to my mother. And I made my lover smile. And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting. And I can make it seem better, I can make it seem better, I can make it seem better for a while.
