As Good As It Has Been Lyrics

Shoeshine girl from New York State, I'll never curse my fate
Your family, your love of me and the way you made me wait
A catholic girl, cranberry curls, one-thousand eighty days
Stars, Stripes and Paisley, the saddest anniversary
Every day the dream of perfect love gets blown away
*As good as it has been,
I wouldn't change a thing
But I'd also never go back again
As good as it has been

Pale-faced protector, acting like an actor, I (you) did the best I (you) couldStephen Kellogg - As Good As It Has Been - http://motolyrics.com/stephen-kellogg/as-good-as-it-has-been-lyrics.html
The hardest part of letting go is to smile as your lover goes
Then say that you understood
You would pout, we'd work it out but sometimes it got tough
With Sun Junky boys, Suburban toys, as good as it has been
it's never been enough

The water and the phoenix
Were never meant to mix
It's a sure fired end
As good as it has been
