Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I could be discontent
And chase the rainbow's end
I might win much more
But lose all that is mine
I could be a lot
But I know I'm not
I'm content just with
The riches that you bring
[Verse 2]
I might shoot to win
And commit the sin
Of wanting more than
I've already got
I could run away, hey
But I'd rather stay
In the warmth of your smile
Lighting up my day
The one that makes me say, hey
[Chorus]
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world
Hey, hey
You're the best thing that ever happened
So don't go away
[Verse 3]
I might be a king
And steal my people's things
But I don't go for that
Power crazy way
All that I could rule
I don't check for fools
All that I need is to be
Left to live my way
So listen what I say
[Chorus]
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world
Hey, hey
You're the best thing that ever happened
So don't go away, hey, yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world
Hey, hey
You're the best thing that ever happened
So don't go away
[Verse 4]
I could chase around
Nothing to be found
But why look for something
That is never there
I may get it wrong sometimes
But I come back in style
If I realize your love
Means more than anything
So, not makes me say
[Chorus]
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world
Hey, hey
You're the best thing that ever happened
So don't go away, hey
[Outro]
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world
Hey, hey
You're the best thing that ever happened
Now, don't go
I said, "Don't go
No, no, don't go away"
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
