Better Days · Faith Hill cover performed by Emily Romrell
Behind the Song
Faith Hill’s Better Days has been a favorite of mine for years. I love its insistence on showing up for people when life gets difficult. I recorded my version to pass along some of that encouragement.

Lyrics from Faith Hill’s recording, preserved from this page.
Verse 1
Hard times are fallin’ on you
Even when you smile I see the hurt come through
And I know it feels like it’s never gonna end
You say nothin’s been right for a long time
And every step you take is an uphill climb
I see you’re reachin’ out
So let me tell you friend that
Chorus
Better days are comin’ around
I know you feel like
The whole world’s gone and let you down but
Better days they’re comin’ for you
I know they will
‘Cause I’ll be right here makin’ sure they do
Verse 2
And if your sky ain’t lookin’ the fairest
There ain’t no reason to be embarrassed
Ain’t nobody in the world ain’t felt
The rain from time to time
And just when you think it’s all over and done
The nights get easier one by one
So take my hand and hold on tight
And soon you’re gonna find that
Chorus
Better days are comin’ around
I know you feel like
The whole world’s gone and let you down but
Better days they’re comin’ for you
I know they will
‘Cause I’ll be right here makin’ sure they do
Bridge
I know what it’s like
To have to face the fight
But I won’t let you stand alone, no
Final Chorus
Better days are comin’ for you
I know it feels like
The whole world’s gone and let you down but
Better days they’re comin’ for you
I know they will
‘Cause I’ll be right here makin’ sure they do
