[Verse 1]
My life, it don't count for nothing
When I look at this world, I feel so small
My life, it's only a season
A passing September that no one will recall

[Chorus]
But I gave joy to my mother
And I made my lover smile
And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting
And I can make it seem better for a while

[Verse 2]
My life, it's half the way travelled
And still I have not found my way out of this night
And my life, it's tangled in wishes
And so many things that just never turned out right

[Chorus]
But I gave joy to my mother
And I made my lover smile
And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting
And I can make it seem better for a while
