Lyrics
I’ve had my share of life’s ups and downs
But fate’s been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I’ve been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it’s all because of you
If anyone should ever write my life story
(For whatever reason) for whatever reason there might be
Ooh, you’ll be there between each line of pain and glory
‘Cause you’re the best (you’re the best thing that ever happened to me) that ever happened to me
Ah, you’re the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
‘Cause for every moment that I’ve spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, oh, just loving you, yeah
If anyone should ever write my life story
(For whatever reason) for whatever reason there might be
Oh, you’ll be there between each line of pain and glory
‘Cause you’re the best (you’re the best thing that ever happened to me) that ever happened to me
Oh, you’re the best (you’re the best thing that ever happened to me) that ever happened to me
I know, you’re the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me, yeah, yeah
