I just pulled a thread that unraveled my life with you
And I'm rebuilding at home a little at a time
Now and then your memory slows my project down
But things are looking up, I haven't lost my mind

Things are looking up, I haven't called you now in days
The hurt stills drop by every night but it no longer stays
When I can't touch or taste or hear or see you in my mind
Yes, things are looking up, and all I need is time

I went to church with the kids and it didn't fall
I let them think they talked me into going
Their mom looked proud and even held my hand
Oh, things are looking up when hurt's not showing

Things are looking up, I haven't called you now in days
The hurt stills drop by every night but it no longer stays
When I can't touch or taste or hear or see you in my mind
Yes, things are looking up, and all I need is time
