Better Days - Dianne Reeves (黛安·瑞芙)[00:00:00]
Silver gray hair[00:00:14]
Neatly combed in place[00:00:17]
There were four generations[00:00:20]
Of love on her face[00:00:24]
She was so wise[00:00:26]
No surprise passed her eyes[00:00:29]
She's seen it all[00:00:34]
I was a child oh[00:00:42]
About three or four[00:00:45]
All day I'd ask questions[00:00:48]
At night I'd ask more[00:00:51]
But whenever she never[00:00:54]
Would ever turn me away[00:00:58]
No no oh woah[00:01:06]
I'd say how can I be sure[00:01:09]
What is right or wrong[00:01:11]
And why does[00:01:12]
What I want[00:01:13]
Always take so long[00:01:14]
Please tell me[00:01:16]
Where does God live[00:01:17]
And why won't[00:01:18]
He talk to me[00:01:18]
I'd say Grandma[00:01:22]
What is love[00:01:23]
Will I ever find out[00:01:24]
Why are we so poor[00:01:25]
What is life about[00:01:27]
I wanna know the answers[00:01:28]
Before I fall off to sleep[00:01:31]
Woah ho woah ho[00:01:34]
She saw the smile[00:01:39]
As she tucked me in[00:01:41]
Then she pulled up that[00:01:45]
Old rockin' chair once again[00:01:46]
But tonight she was[00:01:50]
Slightly remarkably[00:01:53]
Different somehow[00:01:59]
Slowly she rocked[00:02:06]
Lookin' half asleep[00:02:09]
Grandma yawned[00:02:13]
As she stretched[00:02:14]
Then she started to speak[00:02:15]
What she told me[00:02:18]
Would mould me and hold me[00:02:21]
Together inside[00:02:26]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah[00:02:31]
She said all the things you ask[00:02:34]
You will know someday[00:02:36]
But you have got to live[00:02:37]
In a patient way[00:02:39]
God put us here by fate[00:02:40]
And by fate that means[00:02:42]
Better days[00:02:44]
She said child we are all[00:02:46]
Moons in the dark of night[00:02:49]
Ain't no mornings gonna come[00:02:50]
Till the time is right[00:02:52]
Can't get no better days lest[00:02:53]
You make it through the night[00:02:55]
You gotta make it[00:02:59]
Through the night[00:03:00]
Yes you do[00:03:01]
You can't get to no[00:03:04]
Better days[00:03:07]
Unless you make it[00:03:09]
Through the night[00:03:11]
Oh ho you will see[00:03:15]
Those better days[00:03:18]
But you gotta be patient[00:03:21]
Be patient oh baby[00:03:26]
Be patient[00:03:31]
Later that year at[00:03:36]
The turn of spring[00:03:38]
Heaven sent angels down[00:03:42]
And gave Grandma her wings[00:03:44]
Now she's flyin'[00:03:47]
And slidin' and glidin'[00:03:50]
In better days[00:03:55]
And although[00:04:02]
I'm all grown up[00:04:03]
I still get confused[00:04:05]
I stumble through the dark[00:04:06]
Getting bumped and bruised[00:04:08]
When night gets in my way[00:04:09]
I could still hear[00:04:11]
My Grandma say[00:04:12]
I can hear her say[00:04:13]
I can hear her sayin'[00:04:18]
You can't get to no[00:04:20]
Better days[00:04:23]
Unless you make it[00:04:24]
Through the night (baby)[00:04:27]
Oh ho you will see[00:04:31]
Those better days[00:04:34]
But you gotta be patient[00:04:37]
Child do you hear me yeah[00:04:39]
Well well well well well[00:04:41]
You can't get to no no[00:04:45]
Better days[00:04:48]
Unless you make it[00:04:50]
You got to make it[00:04:52]
You got to make it[00:04:54]
You got to make it[00:04:55]
Through the night[00:04:56]
Oh Grandma oh Grandma[00:05:00]
Do you see me now lady[00:05:03]
Oh oh oh oh oh Oh[00:05:05]
