My life, it don't count for nothin' When I look at this world I feel so small And 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 is half the way traveled And still I have not found my way out of this night My life is tangled in wishes And so many things that just never turned out right But I gave joy to my father And I made my children 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 I can make it seem better
