Better Forever
Written by Billy Carl Mancini, Published by Bonk Zone Music, ASCAP ©2021

Another song that was in my back catalog that had never been recorded. Just a song about being in love and floating off to some place of calm and beauty. Someplace better. Like a Caribbean Island and being served drinks on the beach. Sort of uncharacteristic lyrics for me, I guess. But you just write what you feel when you feel it. This is the other track made better forever by Joe Jaworski on cajon.
-Billy Carl Mancini

That’s odd—I first thought of a parent comforting a child with these words. Later, it brought to my mind something more cosmic and eternal. Better forever? It’s our blessed hope! As one might expect, Joe’s treatment brought this song to a new level. Thanks, Joe!
-Ruby Bird

Lyrics

Better Forever
Written by Billy Carl Mancini, Published by Bonk Zone Music, ASCAP ©2021

My mind is floating off to someplace better
A place where seas are smooth, no stormy weather
A place where skies are blue
And you too will feel better forever

Worldly things and theory strings just forget them
Blood will sting and birds will sing, Can you hear them?
I’ve waited for this time
When you too, can feel better forever

Come with me little one
To a place that I know
So let's go
It’s called love…….It’s called love

Tell me soothsayer how to get to where there is nothing
Forget your cares and footsteps where there is nothing
A place where skies are blue
And we two, will feel better forever

(You’ll feel better forever, We’ll feel better forever)
It’s called love….
