A Better Place

I was driving, it was raining

On my way to bring her roses

When I got there, she wasn't there alone

Oh, it tore my world to pieces

To know we'd never be together

So I said goodbye and headed off down the road

I couldn't see for the tears and rain

I heard the crash and I felt the pain

And my life was over just like that

But I'm in a better place

No more tears on my face

Up here above the clouds

I can see clearly now

She was my reason for livin'

And after all the love I've given

I never dreamed I'd die with this heartache

Oh, but I'm in a better place

Now she's standing there crying

Like she's dying to hold me

Too bad she waited too late

I spent most of my life

Just trying to make her love me

I can't believe what it took

To finally make her look my way

The preacher man sends up a prayer

The organ music fills the air

And the choir sings as they carry me away

But I'm in a better place

No more tears on my face

Up here above the clouds

I can see clearly now

'Cause she was my reason for livin'

And after all the love I've given

I never dreamed I'd die with this heartache

Oh, but I'm in a better place

Oh, she was my reason for livin'

And after all the love I've given

I never dreamed I'd die with this heartache

Oh, but I'm in a better place

Ooh
