Country Love Song - Co-written with Val Zudell
Story behind the song
This is a song I started writing for my wife and asked Val to pitch in with me since she is really good at love songs.
Lyrics
The Better Half of Me
© Charles Kirkland/Val Zudell
Girl, I love you… as much as a man could ever love a woman
And I need you… as much as I need the air I breathe
I’m thankful you can overlook all of my imperfections
There’s no doubt… you’re the better half of me
When the weight of this world is pressing down on my shoulders
Frustration gets the best of me
You’re right there with comfort and re-assurance
A gentle touch, sincere empathy
Girl, I love you…and the way you open up my world around me
You make it easy… seems like you know my every need
Oh and I know… you’re the one who keeps my world turning
There’s no doubt… you’re the better half of me
Driving home from work setting in a traffic jam
Gives me time to think of how lucky I am
Knowing your home waiting so patiently
With those Angelic eyes that smile at me
Girl, I love you… as much as a man could ever love a woman
And I need you… as much as I need the air I breathe
I’m thankful you can overlook all of my imperfections
There’s no doubt… you’re the better half of me
There’s no doubt… you’re the better half of me
