Better Late Than Forever


Verse:
We were in the sand by the lifeguard stand
Just beyond the boardwalk lights
We didn’t stop because we thought
That we found love that night

By the end of summer we both wondered
If we should take a break
We agreed but then she told me
She was two weeks late

Pre-Chorus:
Everything turned out fine and I never will forget her
A scare like that makes you realize better late than forever

Chorus:
Your parachute opens right before you hit
You get that last life boat of a sinkin’ ship
You find the clouds silver linin’ in stormy weather
That’s when you know better late than forever

Verse:
I was twenty one knee-deep in love
With a blonde from LSU
She was tall and lean a school boys dream
And man the things she knew

The date was set and our parents met
There was nothin’ left to do
But she had plans with my best man
There went the honeymoon

Pre-Chorus:
It hurt bad when I found out and I wished I never met her
It took a little while to realize better late than forever

Chorus:
Your parachute opens right before you hit
You get that last life boat of a sinkin’ ship
You find the clouds silver linin’ in stormy weather
That’s when you know better late than forever

Bridge:
Duck that punch, Dodge that Bullet
Get on with your life

Chorus:
Your parachute opens right before you hit
You get that last life boat of a sinkin’ ship
You find the clouds silver linin’ in stormy weather
That’s when you know better late than forever
