better part of me

Syml

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
Everyday 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
Everyday I ll be brand new
Thank God for you, the better part of me
