BETTER DAYS - Dianne Reeves [Sarah G. & Jona Soquite Version] (KARAOKE VERSION)
[00:23.87] Silver gray hair neatly combed in place.
[00:29.12] There were four generations of love on her face.
[00:34.87] She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes,
[00:42.63] She'd seen it all.
[00:50.38] I was a child, oh, about three or four.
[00:56.63] All day I'd ask questions.
[00:59.89] At night I'd ask more.
[01:02.14] But whenever; she never, would ever, turn me away.
[01:16.65] I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong ?
[01:20.14] And why does what I want always take so long ?
[01:23.40] Please tell me where does God live
[01:25.40] And why won't He talk to me ?
[01:29.40] I'd say, Grandma what is love ?
[01:31.65] Will I ever find out ?
[01:33.15] Why are we so poor, what is life about ?
[01:36.65] I want to know the answers before I fall off to sleep.
[01:46.66] She sort of smiled as she tucked me in.
[01:52.91] Then she pulled up that old rockin' chair once again.
[01:58.66] But tonight she was slightly, remarkably
[02:06.42] Different somehow
[02:14.42] Slowly she rocked, lookin' half asleep.
[02:20.68] Grandma yawned as she stretched.
[02:23.43] Then she started to speak.
[02:26.68] What she told me, would mold me, and hold me
[02:34.18] Together inside.
[02:41.94] She said all the things you ask
[02:43.94] You will know someday.
[02:45.44] But you have got to live in a patient way.
[02:48.44] God put us here by fate
[02:50.44] And by fate that means better days.
[02:54.69] She said, child we are all moons in the dark of night.
[02:57.94] Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right.
[03:01.44] Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night.
[03:07.45] You gotta make it through the night, yes you do.
[03:11.45] You can't get to no better days
[03:16.70] Unless you make it through the night.
[03:23.96] Oh, you will see those better days
[03:29.21] But you gotta be patient.
[03:33.21] (Be patient) oh baby, be patient.
[03:42.97] Later that year, at the turn of spring,
[03:48.97] Heaven sent angels down and gave Grandma her wings.
[03:54.72] Now, she's flying, and sliding, and gliding
[04:01.98] In better days
[04:10.23] You can't get to no better days
[04:15.48] Unless you make it through the night baby.
[04:22.99] (Be patient) Oh, you will see those better days
[04:27.74] But you gotta be patient.
[04:31.74] Child, do you hear me, yeah.
[04:35.24] Oh oh oh oh oh
[04:37.49] Better Days
