Tried so hard to
To give more than he had
And wanted so much
To make it better when things got bad
And when the load became too much to bear
He'd heard her voice whisper in his ear
Count your blessings and leave the rest
I just have one request
Don't compare yourself
To what you think is best
This is no contest, no one else to impress
Count your blessings and leave the rest
Those were the words
He needed to hear most
When all the demons were talking to the ghosts
When it was easy to keep on giving in
He think of her and start singing again
Count your blessings and leave the rest
I just have one request
Don't compare yourself
To what you think is best
This is no contest, no one else to impress
So, count your blessings and leave the rest
And I'm not saying it's an easy ride
And I'm not saying we're gonna make it out alive
But I just know
We can make it through the night
And see the morning light
♪
And then she sounded like an angel (ooh, ooh)
Like someone, he once knew
Count your blessings and leave the rest
I just have one request
Don't compare yourself
To what you think is best
This is no contest, no one else to impress
Count your blessings and leave the rest
Count your blessings and leave the rest
Count your blessings
And leave the rest
Leave the rest
C'mon, leave
Won't you leave?
The rest, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
