Bright Beginnings

I don't know but I could swear
 We left our better selves somewhere
 These days all we do it seems
 it chase our checks and call them dreams
 I've know you since we were kids
 With the whole world cut up on a dish
 Then the world went south and your dad got sick
 And the ground below began to slip
 Bright beginning often fade
 Precious few can keep the flame
 So let the chips fall where they may
 We're headed out of town today
 Where we're bound for I can't say
 For there are not sure things in this life, babe
 Bright beginning often fade
 Precious few can keep the flame
 And all I have I give to stand
 Beside that brightness one more time
 And all I have I would happily give
 To stand there with you now
 to stand there with you ever
 To stand there with you now
 to stand there with you ever
 To stand there with you now
 to stand there with you ever
 To stand there with you now
 to stand there with you ever
 To stand there with you now
 to stand there with you ever
 To stand there with you now
 to stand there with you ever
