The Better Part of Me
by Bob Bennett

Album: Small Graces


There's a woman in Dallas
She's carrying my heart around
But she does not know it
At least she does not show it if she does

Waiting for her home-bound plane
Saying good-bye again
I slipped it in her pocketbook
At precisely the moment
She looked the other way

Slung over her shoulder
Hanging on the back of her chair
In the car, on the nightstand
She has no idea I am there
The better part of me
(The better part of me is there)
(The only heart of me is there)

This woman in Dallas
Her voice sounds like music
And when she calls my name
My feelings turn to flame
And I am lost in the longing

How she really feels I cannot tell
If I understand too little or too well
But I can say in my defense
Loving her makes perfect sense
To my missing person heart
That's ...

You may ask how it affects my health
To be without this major part of myself
The funny part about it is
I met a guy not using his
So he rents it to me cheaply

So I carry on from day-to-day
Part sane man, part stowaway
And when she finds out where I hide
I guess then she will decide
If she will mail it back or keep it ...
