The Best of My Love Songtext
von Rod Stewart

Every night I′m lyin' in bed, holdin′ you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
And comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over but the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin′ to give me the best of your love

Beautiful faces and loud, empty places, look at the way that we live
Wastin′ our time on cheap talk and wine, left us so little to give
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love

Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
(You get the best of my love)
Oh, sweet darlin′, you get the best of my love
(You get the best of my love)


I'm goin′ back in time and it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night
And I would be all right if I could go on sleepin′

But every mornin' I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today
You see it your way and I see it mine but we both see it slippin′ away
You know we always had each other baby, I guess that wasn′t enough
Oh, but here in my heart, I give you the best of my love

Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
(You get the best of my love)
Oh, sweet darlin′, you get the best of my love
(You get the best of my love)

Every night and day, you get the best of my love
(You get the best of my love)
Oh, sweet, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love
