J.d. Souther Best Of My Love
Every night I'm lying in bed
Holding you close in my dreams
Thinking about all the things that we said
And coming apart at the seams
We tried to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were trying
To give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces, loud empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
We could never rise above
But here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darling
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darling
You get the best of my love
I'm going back in time and it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night and I would be alright
If I could go on sleeping
But every morning I wake up and worry
"What's gonna happen today?"
You see it your way and I see it mine
But we both see it slipping away
We thought we always had each other, baby
I guess that wasn't enough, oh
But here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darling
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darling
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darling
You get the best of my love
