Iris Dement – My Life

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.
