I will love you better,
better when I'm old.
I will love you better when I'm old.
I will wrap my arms around you,
and keep you from the cold.
I will love you better when I'm old.
I will love you better,
better when I'm blind.
I will love you better when I'm blind.
Cause you'll always be a beauty
living in my mind.
I will love you better when I'm blind.
When the rain is falling on the roof
and the star are hid from view,
when the moon is just a scar of light
and the sky a purple bruise.
I will wait here in the window
till you come back again.
I will love you better then.
I will love you better,
better when I'm gone.
I will love you better when I'm gone.
You'll be filling out the quiet,
playing like a song.
I will love you better when I'm gone.
When the world is frozen over
and the oceans are on fire,
when the darkness overpowers light
and the angels muted choir.
I will hide there in the meadows
till you find me again.
I will love you better then.
But I will love you best,
best when I forget.
I will love you best when I forget.
Cause you made your promises,
not one of them you kept.
I will love you best when I forget, when I forget.
I will love you better then.
