For Better or for Worse

(Bill Anderson - Moneen Carpenter)



The wedding bells have barely stopped their ringing

But already all your love for me is gone

On the day that we were wed well I guess we should have said

For better or for worse but not for long.



Now my dream of love has turned into a nightmare

For you say that in your life I don't belong

You said your vows I said mine but we both left out one line

For better or for worse but not for long.



--- Instrumental ---



All the lifetime that we planned has been a short one

And the love that couldn't die did not live long

I wanted you eternaly but you only wanted me

For better or for worse but not for long.



For better or for worse but not for long...
