 For better,  for worse
 Love’s a blessing,  love’s a curse
 She’s an angel,  I’m just a man
 I’ll always love  her  ‘til I can’t stand
 Well, I met  her on a Sunday, she was standing  in the sun
 I picked up  some wild roses, asked her “could  I be the one?”
 She smiled  and took my hand, an angel’s vision  standing there
 She kissed  me on the cheeks  and threw my roses  in the air
 For better, for worse
 Love’s a blessing, love’s a curse
 She’s an angel, I’m just a man
 I’ll always love her ‘til I can’t stand
 April showers brought the mud, puddles littered under foot
 I threw down my brand new jacket, didn’t want it messing up her looks
 She jumped across that puddle, picked up my dirty coat
 She tossed it in the garbage and my heart sank in that moat
 For better, for worse
 Love’s a blessing, love’s a curse
 She’s an angel, I’m just a man
 I’ll always love her ‘til I can’t stand
 And now the trees turn shades of blood as the days were getting short
 Wished I could have kissed you baby, sitting swinging on the porch
 But you blew me off completely, no matter how I tried
 I didn’t want to face it but I knew the truth inside
 For better, for worse
 Love’s a blessing, love’s a curse
 She’s an angel, I’m just a man
 I’ll always love her ‘til I can’t stand
 My winter coat was red (like the color of her dress)
 Now I held her one last time (then I laid her down to rest)
 Well, I gave her every chance (well, she should have realized)
 That’s why they had me locked away, that’s why she had to die
 For better, for worse
 Love’s a blessing, love’s a curse
 She’s an angel, I’m just a man
 I’ll always love her ‘til I can’t stand
 I always loved her but she had a man
