Closest Thing To Perfect
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He's better than any other man I've ever seen before
When I think he's done his best for me he does a little more
He's weak but yet he's strong enough that he never let me down
And he's the closest thing to perfect that I'd found
I guess there is no other man compares with him at all
And I'll be close to help him up if ever he should fall
The tender love he's brought to me just taught me how to dream
He's the closest thing to perfect that I'd seen
He's been up and he's been down like any man can be
But it's good to be his woman and to know at times he's here with me
Cause he loves and I won't worry as long as he's around
He's the closest thing to perfect that I'd found
He's the closest thing to perfect that I'd found
