Count My Blessings

©2002   Charles A. Measday

Updated 21-May-2011

A medium-tempo blues tune, inspired somewhat by Jeff Healey's "Hell To Pay:


The bottle's half-empty
  The bottle's half-full
The bottle's half-empty
  The bottle's half-full
No matter my view
  I'll drown in it too

Sometimes I am happy
  Sometimes I am sad
Sometimes I am happy
  Sometimes I am sad
But I still count my blessings
  for all that I have

My worries, my woes
  Overwhelming to me
My worries, my woes
  Overwhelming to me
But I won't trade a thing
  for the lives that some lead

When things seem bad
  They could be worse
When things seem bad
  They could be worse
In the line for God's touch
  Many others come first

Obsessions, compulsions,
  and Depression, too.
Obsessions, compulsions,
  and Depression, too.
Unhappy my life,
  But my wife pulls me through

She's always there
  right by my side
She's always there
  right by my side
When things look their bleakest,
  the brighter she shines.

And the children I love
  They lighten my heart
The children I love
  They lighten my heart
What my mind wants to end
  Their love makes me start
