She spends her days in lonely Missouri,
spends her nights wishing somewhere far away.
Her mind is set on what she's doing,
but her heart is begging not to stay.
So she waits.
And she dreams of better days.
He knows that they are meant together,
knows that she needs that California weather.
His heart is set on winning her over, but he's reaching the end of his tether.
So he waits.
And he dreams of better days.
Ch: Better days will come along,
this timing is just wrong.
Got to remember to just stay strong and better days will come along.
She picks up her phone in the middle of the night,
gives him a call to make sure he's alright.
That's when she tells him she's on her way,
got a red-eye flight, she'll be there the next day.
Waiting in the airport with roses in his hand,
but when he answers his phone, he can no longer stand.
The other line is holding his greatest fear, as he gets the news that she won't be there.
So he waits.
And he dreams of better days.
Ch: Better days will come along,
this timing is just wrong.
Got to remember to just stay strong and better days will come along.
All dressed in black with her family front row,
listening to the preacher try to soften the blow.
His mind wanders back to when he had the chance to tell her that he loved her from the very first glance.
Her voice is in the back of his mind, reminding him that life is undefined.
Ch: Better days will come along,
this timing is just wrong.
Got to remember to just stay strong and better days will come along.
So sick of waiting, patience no more.
He's dreaming of the day she'll walk back through the door.
Can't stand the thought of letting go, so he says goodbye to the world he used to know.
Ch: Better days will come along,
this timing is just wrong.
Got to remember to just stay strong and better days will come along.
