"Better By Far" lyrics - DANNY VAUGHN

If we meet in the clearing
I will hold you once again
All us road weary men will be young ones again
And I'll laugh and I'll call you my friend
There's a lifetime in your handshake
There's a fire that's still burning bright
We'll start over again and we'll laugh at our sins
When we hold ourselves up to the light
There comes a time of forgiving
To fearlessly tally your scars
Of all of the times we have lived through
Now this one is better by far

If we ever get to heaven
We will have such a gathering there
There's a dozen lost friends that I know in the end
Will have so many stories to share
And oh, but how I have missed you

And I've longed to find out how you are
Of all of the roads that we've rambled
Now this one is better by far

Better by far
When the currency of life
Is the counting of friends
Better by far
To be loving the journey
Than to live for the end

If I glance over my shoulder
I might see the steps leading me here
If I gaze at the horizon
Then the length of my travels comes clear
Sure as one foot will follow another
I will never lose sight of the stars
With all of your bright lights around me
Forever is better by far
Better by far
Better by far
