I've had my share
Of life's ups and downs
But fates been kind
The downs have been few
I guess you could say
I've been lucky
Or I guess you could say
That 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
Cos your the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, your the best thing that ever happened to me
There have been times
When times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
But for every moment that I've been hurtin'
There's been a moment, that I've spent
Oh, just loving you
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever, for whatever reason there might be
You'd be there, between each line of pain and glory
Cos your the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, your the best thing that ever happened to me
Don't you know, your the best thing
Oh, that ever happened
To me
