The Best I Can Do
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.
I'll try to protect you
If idon't get too scared
I'll never neglect you
If my feelings are shared
I'll be right behind you
If you don't move too fast
And I'll try to remind you
That some things can last
I'll love you forever
Or at least many years
If you know I'll never
Take away all your fears
And I'll never roam
Not unless I have to
But I'll always come home
That's the best I can do
It's the best I can do
