Best of Me

Saw you again at the parlor

Crossing the walk with your lady

I caught your eye from afar off

I noticed she wore a ring, mmm

I found a smile against my will

Wish it was genuine

I put away my desire

No more in love with you still

Look, I'm moving on

Loved you, lost you, thought I'd give you

All the best of me

We departed, brokenhearted

I need to be free

What we had was oh, so lovely

I'll swallow my pain

It's my time to find the best of me

Can't be the time to be beggin'

Can't be the time to plead

My momma made me much wiser

What's mine will be just for me, yeah

I'm trying hard just to focus

I'm trying hard to sleep, yeah

Promise I'm glad you're happy

When it's my time, it will be

Look, I'm moving on

Loved you, lost you, thought I'd give you

All the best of me

We departed, brokenhearted

I need to be free

What we had was oh, so lovely

I'll swallow my pain

It's my time to find the best of me

Oh, my, why have I been just so foolish all this time?

Not realizing the beauty

Not realizing the beauty that your eyes once saw in mine

I guess it's time to find the best in me

Loved you, lost you, thought I'd give you

All the best of me, yeah

We departed, brokenhearted

I need to be free

What we had was oh, so lovely

I'll swallow my pain

It's my time to find the best of me

Oh, oh-oh-oh, the best of me
