Name: Better With Time
Duration: P00H03M07S
Description: Jus said: “Mom. You need a ¾ song on your record.” She had this amazing chorus, and Peter came over and handed us verse after verse. I had to find a melody for all their brilliance…right?! Trisha Yearwood honored the song, and all of us, with her beautiful harmonies. As if recording my songs in the past were not gifts enough.

lyrics

“Better With Time”
Written by Irene Kelley/Justyna Kelley/Peter Cooper
--------------------------------------------

Some hearts fade and weather
Get lost in the heather
Bruised in the passing of years
But it’s warm coffee mornings
Hold hands in the dawning
And 10 thousand sweet souvenirs

*And better with time, we’ve got the rest of our lives
Better with time, a love that’s forever
Will only get better with time

Some hearts will not bother
To care for each other
They scatter when matters go wrong
But we are not that kind
We’re guitars and fine wine
And every word to that old song
(*)
