Bill Osofsky songs
Happy New Year everyone. This one sounds a little country and a little folk to me. Hope you enjoy it :). Thanks, Nanci
AS GOOD AS IT GETS
(verse)
Pink and yellow streamers, a rainbow of balloons
"Happy Birthday Emily" was strung across the room
Hot dogs and potato chips, clothes as gifts,no toys
Momma finally said okay and let her have some boys
She smiled in the mirror, put on her new beretts
And thought, hey, that's as good as it gets
(verse 2)
One weekend in her sophomore year her folks went out of town
They said it's okay Friday night to have the girls come 'round
A pizza and some Seven-Up with just a little gin
The guys knocked on the door at ten, she didn't let them in
They watched TV and giggled, just lyin' 'round in sweats
And, sister, that's as good as it gets
(bridge)
But there came times when life hurt
It didn't go as it should
She found the more that she grew up
The more she understood
To live each day to it's fullest
Don't throw any away
Cause one day these will be
The good old days
(verse)
She looked at Tom and smiled, they'd been marrried thirty years
As she blew out the candles, she was cryin' happy tears
Her family still lived real close by, she could watch them grow
They all were livin' out the dreams she dreamed long ago
The five year old called "Grandma, there's ice cream on my dress"
That is sure as good as it gets.
