My Life Lyrics

by Iris Dement
My life, it don't count for nothing.
When I look at this world, I feel so small.
My life, it's only a season:
A passing September that 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.
And I can make it seem better for a while.
My life, it's half the way travelled,
And still I have not found my way out of this night.
An' my life, it's 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.
And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting.
And I can make it seem better
I can make it seem better,
I can make it seem better for a while.
Oh, oh oh.
Oh oh.
This is a great song for guitar, but she performs it on
the piano. Someone with a better ear may want to review
these chords because I probably made some mistakes along
the way. Have fun!
