Billy McLaughlin - The Best of My Love

Lyrics

Every night

I'm lying in bed,

Holdin' you close in my dreams;

Thinkin' about all the things that we said

And comin' apart at the seams.

We try to talk it over

But the words come out too rough;

I know you were tryin'

To give me the best of your love.

Beautiful faces,

Loud empty places

Look at the way that we live,

Wastin' our time

On cheap talk and wine

Left us so little to give.

The same old crowd

Was like a cold dark cloud

That we could never rise above,

But here in my heart

I give you the best of my love.

Oh, sweet darlin',

You get the best of my love,

(You get the best of my love.)

Oh, sweet darlin',

You get the best of my love.

(You get the best of my love.)

I'm goin' 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 slippin' away.

You know, 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 darlin',

You get the best of my love.

Oh, sweet darlin',

You get the best of my love.
