Good News First

The best we can agree on
Is it could have been worse
What happened to your old
Benevolent universe?You know the one with stars
That revolve around you
Beaming down full of promises
To bring good newsYou used to feel that way
The saddest words you could ever say
But I know youll remember that day
And the most beautiful words I could ever say
And the most beautiful words I could ever sayThe worst thing about it all
Is that you might have been right
And Im still not really sure
What started that fightAnd I still get this feeling
Theres more trouble ahead
So never mind the bad news
Lets have the good news insteadYou used to feel that way
The saddest words you could ever say
But I know youll remember that day
And the most beautiful words I could ever say
And the most beautiful wordsSome would say they never fear a thing
Well, I do
And Im afraid enough for both of us
For me and youTime, if nothing else, will do its worst
So do me that favor and tell me the good news first
The good news firstYou used to feel that way
The saddest words you could ever say
But I know youll remember that day
And the most beautiful words I could ever say
And the most beautiful words I could ever say
To the most beautiful words I could ever say
