Just Short of Glory

(Debbie Hennessey)
written by Renee Carly
Just Short of Glory

Lucy fell hard for his heart of gold
Too blinded to see the fork in the road
His love so true so sure to hold
No she never dreamed he would go

chours: Just short of glory
That’s what it was
A sweet taste of heaven
A gift from above
Almost a perfect love
Just short of glory it was

Lost in her sorrow she can hardly breath
The air is so thick with her disbelief
Over and over she’s questioning
How could he love her then leave

chours: Just short of glory
That’s what it was
A sweet taste of heaven
A gift from above
Almost a perfect love
Just short of glory – it was
Just short of glory – it was
Just short of glory

bridge: She’s looking through the window of today
The only thing she sees is her pain
She’s starting to wonder if there’s half a chance
She’ll ever love again that way

chours: Just short of glory
That’s what it was
A sweet taste of heaven
A gift from above
Almost a perfect love
Just short of glory – it was
Just short of glory – it was
Just short of glory
