Written to my adult daughter when she was having some relationship woes, it's really a waltz around "I'm sorry".
lyrics
All Right Now words and music by Darrell E. Rodgers Jr.
I spent my youth searching for shortcuts,
I thought would take me to fortune and fame
I now recognize in the time that I wasted,
The road could have carried me there just the same
But it’s all right now
We get through it somehow
With our Fathers and Mothers
Sisters and brothers
It’s all right now
I once was loved by a beautiful woman
She knew how to listen, she knew what to say
The joy of those days brings me pain to remember
The day in September she cast me away
But it’s all right now
We get through it somehow
With our Friends and Relations
In frank consultations
It’s all right now
So don’t tell me, Life’s too tough on you now
‘cause I’ve been there, and I know you’ll make it somehow
...Don’t tell me, Life’s too tough on you now
‘cause I’ve been there, and I know you’ll make it somehow
I used to think that true love was something
That grew after living together so long
I now realize after losing a marriage
For love to survive, well, it first must be strong
But it’s all right now
We get through it somehow
With our Spouses and Lovers
Significant others
It’s all right now
When we were young, we married without love
Foolishly thinking we’d run out of time
After tormenting years, we separated
And got tortured by tears of the kids left behind
But it’s all right now
We get through it somehow
With our heartfelt confessions
And counseling sessions
It’s all right now
Well it’s all right now
Yes it’s, Almost, all right,,, now.
