THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE
words and music by Stephanie Bennett 1990-1992

(original version)
The story of your life is not written in stone;
You can turn the page.
The story's never finished, the ending's unknown;
You can still reset the stage.
Erase the sky and make it bluer.
Erase a lie and make it truer,
The story of your life.

Characters will enter, and some will depart;
You can't make them stay.
So tear out all the pages that tear at your heart.
Throw the saddest parts away.

You can always add a chapter;
Fill it up with love and laughter.
Set it in a garden that's fragrant and light.
Make it the best you can write,

The story of your life.

(wedding version)
The story of your life is not written in stone;
You can turn the page.
The story's never finished, the ending's unknown;
You can still reset the stage.
Erase the sky and make it bluer.
Erase a lie and make it truer,
The story of your life.

The story's full of riddles, and questions, and tears,
And characters who come and go.
Then when you least expect it, a hero (/an angel) appears,
And suddenly, at last, you know:

It's time to write your finest chapter;
Fill it up with love and laughter.
Set it in a garden that's fragrant and light.
Make it the best you can write,

The story of your life.
