Sure  there are better things,
Could  be worse.
My  guardian angel wings,  might not work.
Money  isn't the only thing that  comes up short.
 I'll close  any  open door,
 I don't want  you to see  me hurtin'
I'll  be  gone come tomorrow  morn'
 I'll be back  when the world  stops  turnin'.
I  wish I could fix everything,
And  you could sleep.
I  promise you better things,
You  tend to keep,
Couldn't  give you a diamond ring,
 But  love is gold.
 I'll close  any  open door,
 I don't want  you to see  me hurtin'
I'll  be  gone come tomorrow  morn'
 I'll be back  when the world  stops  turnin'.
I'll  be  gone come tomorrow  morn'
 I'll be back  when the world  stops  turnin'.
