Until Then
An intimate acoustic country ballad begins with fingerpicked guitar, gentle brush drums, and subtle upright bass. Light pedal steel adds texture in the verses, swelling with soft harmonies in the chorus. The alt-country edge comes from raw male vocals and organic, unpolished touches.

Verse 1
She gets up in the morning
from another sleepless night,
Thinking here’s another day
for her to try to get it right.
She sees her children sleeping,
and decides it’s all worthwhile
When they open up their eyes
and greet her with a smile.
Verse 2
Their lives have not been easy
trying to make it on their own
Ever since their daddy went away
and left them all alone,
But there’s no point in wondering
about what might have been.
Perhaps someday she’ll have the strength
to fall in love again.
Chorus
Until then,
she’ll just do the best she can
To make this world a better place
For her kids to grow up in.
Until then,
she’ll keep trying to find a way
To muster up the strength she needs
To make it through another day.
Until then . . .
Verse 3
She lays down in the evening,
once the kids are tucked in bed,
With thoughts of what her life’s become
still running through her head.
Each day has made her stronger
than she ever thought she’d be,
And she knows it won’t be very long
'til her heart is finally free.
Chorus
Until then,
she’ll just do the best she can
To make this world a better place
For her kids to grow up in.
Until then,
she’ll keep trying to find a way
To muster up the strength she needs
To make it through another day.
Until then . . .
Instrumental Interlude
Chorus
Until then,
she’ll just do the best she can
To make this world a better place
For her kids to grow up in.
Until then,
she’ll keep trying to find a way
To muster up the strength she needs
To make it through another day.
Until then . . .
