Is the Better Part Over

Written by Willie Nelson
Is the better part over? Has a ragin' river turned into a stream? Is the better part over? Are we down to not quite sayin' what we mean?
And after thinkin' it over Wouldn't you rather have the endin' nice and clean Where love remains in all the closing scenes? If the better part's over
Why hang around For an endin' that's laden with sorrow? We've both been around We've both seen that movie before
And as much as I love you I can't live while fearin' tomorrow If the better part's over Then why should we try anymore?
Is the better part over? Has a ragin' river turned into a stream? Is the better part over? Are we down to not quite sayin' what we mean?
And after thinkin' it over Wouldn't you rather have the endin' nice and clean Where love remains in all the closing scenes Is the better part over?
