The Best of You (Has Got the Best of Me) Songtext
von Kim Carnes

Memories are the only things that time can′t take away
You read a book, you write a song, the time's been spent
But in your mind the story still remains
The song plays on

And memories can get the best of you
They can turn you inside out just when you least expect them to
And times when I′m alone, I think of things we've done
And then I laugh right out loud to myself
Sometimes I fool myself


How could you possibly know?
Yes, and how could you possibly see?
How could you possibly know
That the best of you
Has got the best of me?

Good and bad, take it all in stride
(But I'd be lying) if I said I didn′t need you here beside me
When it took so long to find you, now I just can′t let you go
I can't let you go

How could you possibly know?
Oh, and how could you possibly see?
How could you possibly know
That the best of you
Has got the best of me?
