I've had my share
of life's ups and downs
But fate's been kind, the downs have been few
I
guess you could say that I've been lucky
Well, 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
Ooo, you'll be there between each line of pain
and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Ah, you're
the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, there have been times when
times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
'Cause
for every moment that I've spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent,
ah, just loving you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For
whatever reason there might be
Oh, you'll be there between each line of pain
and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you're
the best thing that ever happened to me
I know, you're the best thing, oh,
that ever happened to me
