BEST OF ME

Written by J.R HILTON 2016

DIDN'T I EXPLAIN, ALL THIS TO YOU

HOW IT ALL WOULD WORK

LOVE AND ADMIRATION GROW WITH TIME

IT'S A SHAME THAT I HAD TO WASTE SO MUCH OF MINE

WHY COULDN'T WE HAVE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FROM THE START  

TIME WOULDN'T ALLOW IT, KEPT US APART

FOR EVERYTHING A REASON, SOME WE'LL NEVER KNOW

AND WE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND, ALL THE ONES THAT SHOW

TWO KINDRED SOULS, DREAMS DRIFTING WITH THE STARS

WE MAY NOT HAVE MUCH, BUT THE LOVE WE HAVE IS ALL OURS

IF SEASONS CHANGE, WITH YOU BESIDE ME

MAYBE THEY WON'T TRY TO DIVIDE ME

THE TIME IT TAKES, TO REALIZE YOUR DREAMS

SOMETIMES SPANS MANY YEARS, OR SO IT SEEMS

SEEMS LIKE A LIFETIME, THESE LIVES THAT I'VE LIVED

SOME JUST TOOK, BUT WOULD NEVER GIVE

AND NOW THERE IS YOU AND I

KNEW I WANTED TO TRY

THE YEARS I SPENT DREAMING, DIDN'T GO TO WASTE

NOW I'M THE PERSON, I SHOULD OF ALWAYS BEEN

YOU'VE GOT THE BEST OF ME, THE ONE THAT TOOK SO LONG

IN BETWEEN THE PAGES OF YOUR LIFE

RIGHT THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE

WHAT YOU MISSED, AND WHAT YOU GOT RIGHT

THROUGH THE DARKNESS, TO THE LIGHT 

AND RIGHT INTO YOUR ARMS

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
