as good as it gets

Francesca Battistelli

Remember the joy that would come without warning
Opened your eyes, woke you up on a Saturday morning
I remember running outside to a world with no fear
Wide open spaces and summers that lasted for years
I remember it clear

These days all I feel
Is a longing all too real

You take my eyes off of the future
You lead my heart out of the past
You are the promise here in the moment
Where I find my rest
You are as good as it gets

There have been days that I wished would be over
No margin to give, just the strength to roll over
I remember thinking that all
My best days were behind me
Tomorrow would come rushing in
Like some kind of prince charming
I remember it clear

These days what I feel
Is a struggle You too real

You make it easy
You make it easy
