My Life Lyrics - Iris Dement

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. 

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. 

My life, it's half the way travelled, 

And still I have not found my way out of this night. 

An' my life, it's tangled in wishes, 

And so many things that just never turned out right. 

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, 

I can make it seem better, 

I can make it seem better for a while.
