Best Is Yet To Come

Lyrics

Born in July of '69 Thrown from a wreck, but I survived Passed through care without any wear I never found any real peace in there Worked milk rounds, washed old cars Learned to live with hidden scars Nana stood when no one would Filled my heart with something good I'm still an open book Every scar, every line Every road that broke my heart Taught this soul of mine to climb I've bent, but I won't break I've lost, but I still look, for the love that's waiting there… I'm still an open book Built a life with my own hands Lost my girls to bitter plans Climbed the ranks and took command Made my mark I made my stand I'm still an open book Every scar, every line Every road that broke my heart Taught this soul of mine to climb I've bent, but I won't break I've lost, but I still look For the love that's waiting there… I'm still an open book Cyprus brought someone near Fifteen golden, loving years In twenty-ten she slipped away But her words still guide me every day I tried love once more back home Stayed too long, but now I know Love should never steal your light So I walked away and chose my life I don't need to turn back time I just need a heart that's mine Someone warm who'll walk with me Side by side to set me free… Nana's strength still carries me My lost love's light still helps me see I won't keep reaching for what's gone My heart is ready to move on… I'm still an open book Every scar, every line Every road that broke my heart Taught this soul of mine to climb I've bent, but I won't break There's new page's left to turn With a heart that's still wide open And a fire that still burns Yeah, through every storm I took I'm still an open book The past made me strong But it won't write what comes I'm still an open book The best is yet to come.
