Better Part of Me

I bought you diamonds and gold, but you hate to shine I sing a sad, lonely song, but it's what you like Let's build a home and buy fancy clothes God knows it's how we survive I might be some years ahead, but let's start tonight Speak truth to me Darling and I'll be true Speak honestly Honestly, I can't help falling for you The better part of me I've worn a path with my hands on the map of your skin You kiss my face in the morning, and I'm born again From the fire and the sea to the birds and the bees I've seen where life begins Delicate like paper kites held by the wind Speak truth to me Darling and I'll be true Speak honestly Honestly, I can't help falling for you Every day, I'll be brand new Thank God for you, the better part of me There will be days we're apart, and I'll long for you The nights will grow heavy and dark in solitude But when we collide, we explode in the sky, two stars We'll block out the view Today I love you simply because I do Speak truth to me Darling and I'll be true Speak honestly Honestly, I can't help falling for you Every day, I'll be brand new Thank God for you, the better part of me
