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 but I'd rather stay
In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day, the one that makes me say
[Verse 3]
You're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go away
[Verse 4]
I might be a king and steal my peoples 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, listen what I say
[Verse 5]
You're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go away
[Verse 6]
Console of me, you're the best for me (Focus all on me, you're the best for me)
Come and rock my dreams but take a chance on me (Come and rock my dreams, ooh)
Focus all on me, you're the best for me (Console of me, you're the best for me)
Come and rock my dreams but take a chance on me (Come and rock my dreams but take a chance on me)
[Verse 7]
You're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go away
You're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go
Don't go, don't go away
