Backstory:

John moved the line "some days will be long," and separated it from the chorus, we tried many different ways to do it.  You will hear that it really doesn't work well and it sounds forced and awkward.  I did add a second section to verse one, and if you don't like it, we can cut it and just add an instrumental bridge as we discussed.   I think if we move the line "Some days will be long," back to where it was, and if you don't like the second section of V1 we can cut it and add the instrumental bridge and the song will be done.

Verse 

Dad always told me family comes first

He hoped for the best, never thought about the worst

He'd always smile as he kissed my mom

She'd smile back, peaceful and calm


We had a life with many ups and downs

A man of few words, but what he said sure did count

Worked hard and kept two feet on the ground

A solid simple man, by most accounts



Pre-Chorus

Even when trouble came our way

He'd simply smile and say


Some days will be long



Chorus

When I feel empty

Love helps me to carry on

Dad's words shine a light to help me see

It's okay, some days will be long



Verse

The world can be a deeply troubled place

So many careless people acting without grace

When I get weary and lose my way

I remember those words dad used to say


Some days will be long



Chorus

When I feel empty

Love helps me to carry on

Dad's words shine a light to help me see

It's okay, some days will be long



Outro

It's okay some days will be long
