Peter Kingsbery Only The Very Best Lyrics

No-one can have more than their due
 I wanted life, I wanted you
 Only the very best
 A reasonable request
 This is too high a price to pay
 Now they've taken you away
 Might as well take me
 Down, down to hell for I don't care
 They can put me anywhere
 Throw away the key
 I always walked a definite line
 Cutting a dash, cutting it fine
 And once, only once did I lose control
 I gave her my soul
 And I gave, and I gave, and I gave
 Her my soul
 I was immortal till today
 Now I feel a cold decay
 Crawling over me

 No-one can have more than their due
 I wanted life, I wanted you
 Only the very best
 No other interest
 This is the way you should remain
 Never feeling any pain
 Never growing old
 Sleep little one, your night is here
 Mine is growing very near
 Oh, it's getting cold
