Susan is not only a gifted song writer, but one who can deliver the lyrics and you can actually understand every word! There are so many performers today that I can never hear all of the lyrics. She plays a nice piano and is a joy to watch. I am definitely your fan!!!!!!

I love this stripped down version. It reminds me of the first time I heard it, just before learning that my husband, who had been fighting cancer, only had days to live. It didn't seem possible that could be "the best part" of my life, but I was lucky to have had him in my life and luckier still to have been able to be there for and with him till the end. She was right. Every day can be the best part of your life, if you let it.
As I bitch and moan about the relatively minor problems and challenges in my life, this song yanks me back to reality and reminds me of how good I have it. Only as talented an artist as Susan Werner could do this so beautifully. Thanks, Susan!

This is one of the most moving songs I have ever heard and it speaks to my soul in ways even I'm unfamiliar with. I am so grateful to have found this here.
Thanks to Mike T. for telling me about Susan. I just bought her latest CD. She is better than most in Nashville. The greatest musical hidden treasure of all.
Thank you Susan for revealing your great humanity through your songs.
Outstanding. I first heard it performed by the performing trio "Red Molly" (highly recommended), and loved it. After Red Molly's version, it was interesting to hear it as it was originally written... Again, Outstanding.
Eventually we will move away from all this hardware on stage. It will be nice to see performers with their instruments--without mics, monitors, and steel tubing.

My mother and her sisters were going to sing this to my bride at our wedding. One hopes that still happens one day.

I learned this tune through an Ellis Paul/Vance Gilbert CD.
Finally read the credits and came seeking. Please perform this at Swallow Hill when you return!

I was there for this particular performance (sitting right behind the camera) and it was wonderful.
Thanks for documenting such a great memory - this song makes my toes curl....
