For Better Or Worse

Story Behind The Song

I started out wanting to write a song for my daughter's upcoming wedding. Even though it didn't work for that event, it has a place in my repetoire. I still get a kick remembering the smile that came across my producer's face when he heard the line "Promise me you'll hold me just till I fall asleep." He was used to hearing me say that when I would come to the studio in one of my sleep-deprived states. So the song is worth it to me for that smile alone.

Lyrics

For Better Or Worse

V1: Once upon a time not so long ago
When your eyes met mine I saw a kindred soul
And in that moment I
Suddenly knew why,
I knew why I'm alive

Cho: For better or worse I belong
Right here with you
Since I turned around
And knew I'd found the one

V2: I would never dare to stray from this path
I don't want to share you and lose what I have
I either walk away or try
To catch some dreams as they fly by
They fly right by

Cho: For better or worse that's how it will be
No looking back
I'm here to stay I found my way home

V3: Promise me you'll hold me just till I fall asleep
Then I trust the angel my soul to keep
And I promise you that I
I won't let you cry
No, I won't let you cry

Cho: For better or worse until we part
Hold me close
And I won't go far
Wherever we are, we are one
We're one
You are the one
