I'll Try to Do Better Next Time
Embracing Love's Journey: Willie Nelson's Quest for Redemption
Lyrics
I been sittin' 'round countin' my blessings
I have been reflecting on and appreciating the positive aspects of my life.
Thinkin' of friends here and gone
Thinking about friends who are no longer present in my life.
Recallin' the smile across somebody's face
Recalling the joy reflected in someone's smile when I used to sing to them.
Whenever I'd sing her a song
Referencing the emotional impact of my singing on someone special.
The Good Book says "Love everybody"
Quoting the instruction from the Bible to love everyone.
And the Lord knows I really have tried
Expressing genuine effort in adhering to the biblical command.
So I'll throw a kiss to the ones that I have missed
Sending affectionate thoughts to those I've lost touch with.
And I'll try to do better next time
Committing to improve and be more loving in the future.
By next time I might be a preacher
Speculating on a potential future role as a preacher.
Or an eagle gliding away
Imagining soaring like an eagle, suggesting personal growth.
I hope that my spirit will make someone happy
Desiring to leave a positive impact on others even after I'm gone.
When I'm gone to come back again
Anticipating a return, perhaps in memories or influence.
The Good Book says "Love everybody"
Reiterating the biblical directive to love everyone.
And the Lord knows I really have tried
Affirming sincere efforts to follow the teachings of love.
So I'll throw a kiss to the ones that I have missed
Sending affectionate thoughts to those absent from my life.
And I'll try to do better next time
Recommitting to improve and be more loving in subsequent endeavors.
The Good Book says "Love everybody"
Reiterating the biblical directive to love everyone.
And the Lord knows I really have tried
Acknowledging genuine efforts made to adhere to the command.
So I'll throw a kiss to the ones that I missed
Sending affectionate thoughts to those I failed to connect with.
And I'll try to do better next time
Committing once again to improve and be more loving in the future.
The Good Book says "Love everybody"
Reiterating the biblical directive to love everyone.
And the Lord knows I really have tried
Affirming sincere efforts to follow the teachings of love.
I'll throw a kiss to the ones that I missed
Sending affectionate thoughts to those absent from my life.
And I'll try to do better next time
Recommitting to improve and be more loving in subsequent endeavors.
I'll try to do better next time
Expressing the ongoing commitment to personal growth and improvement.
