My Life
My life, it don't count for nothin'
When I look at this world, I feel so small
My life is only a season
A passing September no one will recall
But I gave joy to my mother
And I made my lover smile
And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting
I can make it seem better for a while
My life is half the way traveled
And still I have not found
My way out of this night
My life is tangled in wishes
And so many things that just never turned out right
But I gave joy to my mother
And I made my lover smile
I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting
I can make it seem better
Oh, I can make it seem better for a while
Ooh
