It's all for the good It's all for the good now baby
It's all for the good since you left me broken hearted

It's all for the good It's all for the good now baby
It's all for the good since I let you get away

Infatuation.                          Then disillusioned.
The complications.               Too much confusion.
I hesitated                             from misdirection.
And you pressed on toward your next connection.

It's all for the good It's all for the good now baby
It's all for the good since you left me broken hearted

It's all for the good It's all for the good now baby
It's all for the good since I let you get away.

The hours of waiting             for resolution
And recreating                      my contribution.
While in your loveless          fascination
You overshot your                destination.

It seems to all get sorted out
and down the road we'll have no doubt
that this is where we ought to be.
I miss your eyes, your warm embrace, your smile, your scent, your company.

I keep pretending                   I've somehow made it.
I keep descending,                 it's complicated.
I measure time from              where we started,
and set my compass from      where we parted.

Rick, this really has a great rhythm and you get the message through very powerfully.

"It's all for the good" indeed if you allow this thought to overpower the doubts.

Love,
Margherita
