The Best Thing in My Life

Don’t look at me I’m feeling fine,
With the aid of whiskey and the help of wine.
The days and nights go by so slowly,
And I see your face before me everywhere I go.
We had our dance, the music played,
We knew the piper must be paid.
But you were the best thing in my life.
A foolish pride can make you blind
Until your future is left behind .
Though time heals all wounds it moves slowly,
And I stop and think about you everywhere I go.
We had our chance, we had our day.
We knew that nothing’s here to stay.
But you were the best thing in my life.
You never meant to do me wrong,
You left and took my love along.
I told myself it wouldn’t matter.
But still I think about you everywhere I go.
We had our day, the day is past.
It seems like nothing good can last.
But you were the best thing in my life.
