A lot of words:

THE GOOD NEWS

when you said that it was over... i think i caught a trace of doubt
you left the front door standing open when you walked out
there were no angry words, no ultimatum or curse
so the good news is the bad news could've been worse

   the good news is you didn't clean out your drawer
   your tattered springsteen t-shirt's in the corner on the floor
   i don't believe you'd ever leave that coffee mug behind
   it's all these little hopeful signs that keep running through my mind

when you said that it was over... i think i caught a trace of doubt
you left the front door standing open when you walked out
there were no angry words, no ultimatum or curse
so the good news is the bad news could've been worse

   the good news is there's still time i can say the right thing
   show some redemption, gain the forgivness that might bring
   you've always been willing to look past my song and dance
   to find it in your heart to give me one more chance

when you said that it was over... i think i caught a trace of doubt
you left the front door standing open when you walked out
there were no angry words, no ultimatum or curse
so the good news is the bad news could've been worse

no final farewell read chapter and verse
the good news is the bad news could've been worse






A lot of hope that you'll find it worth your time to listen.
A lot of thanks for any comments.
A lot of grateful that J&B became dear friends.
A lot of love sent to the folks at PGMusic who make ALL this possible.
