From the recording Love & Persistence
Lyrics
Take the Good with the Bad
It was raining the last time I saw you
and it hardly ever rains
now here you are standing
in front of me again
And you look the same,
You look the same
And your hair it still shimmers
when it hits the light just right
and eyes they still sparkle when you smile
you don’t look sad
Count your blessings we always said
we’ll take the good with the bad
count your blessings…we’ll take the good with the bad
the tides can turn quickly
I had to learn how to float
some dreams really do come true,
some just don’t
And your hair it still shimmers
when it hits the light just right
and eyes they still sparkle when you smile
you don’t look sad
Count your blessings we always said
we’ll take the good with the bad
Count your blessings we always said
we’ll take the good with the bad
By the way that you lean away
I’m sure that you can tell
to not reach out and hold you
well, it’s just hell
And your hair it still shimmers
when it hits the light just right
and eyes they still sparkle when you smile
you don’t look sad
count your blessings we always said
we’ll take the good with the bad
count your blessings we always said
we’ll take the good with the bad
