Better Year

Wally’s all night grocery is doing well

Magazines and chocolate can't be hard to sell

Dollar for the news of disaster and war

Sometimes I wonder what I buy it for

It's gonna be a better year

Better than the last one dear

Take it easy, it's all right

Take it easy, it‚s all right

This little apartment has a pretty good view

Neighbor’s kids are fighting but they always do

Watching as they pile into the yellow bus

Can't believe next year there will be three of us

Gonna be a better year

Better than the last one dear

Take it easy, it's all right

Take it easy, it‚s all right

And if the weight on your back is too much for you

Do what all the happy people do

Hold the one you love by your side

And let it ride

It's all right, take it easy

Days have gotten short, the amaryllis blooms

There’s a tranquil blue light in these tiny rooms

Every day we hear of a new tragedy

So I am surprised happiness has crept up on me

Everything will be ok

Feel it in my bones today

Take it easy, it's all right

Take it easy, it‚s all right

And if the weight on your back is too much for you

Do what all the happy people do

Hold the one you love by your side

And let it ride

It’s all right, take it easy

It’s all right, take it easy

It’s all right
