Lyrics Iris DeMent – My Life

My life, it don’t count for nothing
When I look at this world, I feel so small
And 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

And my life, it’s half the way travelled
And still I have not found my way out of this night
And 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

Oh, oh, oh
