Dia Linn - Some Goodness In My Life Lyrics

So many long years ago God must have noticed then,
The path a boy was traveling, how bad that path would end.
So, He whispered to an angel "This one's running out of time,
Go down and stand across his path. Put some goodness in his life."
A pretty face, with charm and grace, is sure to catch his eye.
Your tender words, your loving ways will make him realize,
What he fought so hard to understand through bitterness and strife.
Was simply that he needed a little goodness in his life.
Fewer are the years left to us than the ones we've left behind.
Whether diamonds or rust await, in those years we will find.
When the gatekeeper tallies up, I'll gladly pay the toll,
And a thousand times moreover for the goodness in your soul.
We never felt our youth go by; the days were all so full.
It seems the stuff of our lives then was kids, careers and bills.
Battles we won, a few we lost, yet even from the start,
You were the anchor of my soul, with the goodness in your heart.
The years we spent and tears we spent, so many yet so few.
Yet through those shifting sands of time, my rock was always you.
Now the kids are gone, grandchildren grown, again it's just we two.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the good surrounding you.
Fewer are the years left to us than the ones we've left behind.
Whether diamonds or rust await, in those years we will find.
With my last breath I will grateful be to my God and to my wife,
For the plan you made together to put some goodness in my life.
