I didn't know your mother
But this is what I have been told
That she cried and she cried
When she gave you up at three days old
She was from the countryside
In Cambodia, a farmer's wife
With too many mouths to feed
She wanted you to see a better life
Love takes the best of you
Love takes the best of you
You don't look like me
And baby, we don't look like you
But our love is so complete
It don't matter eyes are brown or blue
There are people in this world
Who won't understand our family
We'll protect you where we can
Some times you'll have to stand
And help them see
Love takes the best of you
Love takes the best of you
Every night when I watch you sleep
I want to watch over you forever
Keep you safe with me
And I wish I could promise you a beautiful world
That would never break your heart
Maybe that's what we are here for
We try and fix what comes apart
Love takes the best of you
Love takes the best of you
Love takes the best of you
Love takes the best of you
