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

and i guess you could say

it's all because of you

if anyone should ever write

my life story

for whatever reason

there might be

you'd be there between each line

of pain and glory

cause you're the best thing

that ever happened to me

you're the best thing

that ever happened to me

lord there have been times

when times were so hard

but always somehow

i made it through

and for every moment

i've spent hurting

there was a moment i spent

loving you

if anyone should ever write

my life story

for whatever reason

there might be

you'd be there between each line

of pain and glory

cause you're the best thing

that ever happened to me

you're the best thing

that ever happened to me
