Is the Better Part Over

Is the better part over? Has a ragin' river turned into a stream? Is the better part over? All we down to not quite sayin' what we mean? And after thinkin' it over Wouldn't you rather have the endin' nice and clean Where love remains in all the closing scenes? If the better part's over Why hang around For an endin' that's laden with sorrow? We've both been around We've both seen that movie before As much as I love you I can't live while fearin' tomorrow If the better part's over Why should we try anymore? Is the better part over? Has a ragin' river turned into a stream? Is the better part over? Are we down to not quite sayin' what we mean? After thinkin' it over Wouldn't you rather have the endin' nice and clean Where love remains in all the closing scenes Is the better part over?
