I love sad songs, always have, but I wrote this one on the idea that I wanted to hear of a love story that works and really lasts. You know, if it grows strong through the good times, then we grow together, stand together and then the bad times really aren't so bad.

The Bad Times Aren’t So Bad

Tell me a story of a love that never ends
Like a willow weeping in the chilly winter wind, it bends.
Sing a song of the love we’ve had,
growing strong through the good times,
And the bad times aren’t, so bad.

Tell me a story of a love that loves ‘til death.
Like an eagle soaring high, sailing free on
spring’s sweet breath.
Sing a song of the love we’ve had,
growing strong through the good times,
And the bad times aren’t, so bad.

I don’t want to hear about another broken heart,
Lost to a love that ended before it even started.

Tell me a story of a love that never ends.
Like a willow weeping in the chilly winter wind, it bends.
Sing a song of the love we’ve had,
growing strong through the good times,
And the bad times aren’t, so bad. They aren’t so bad.
