Better Part of Me - SYML/Sara Watkins

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
