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. 

O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' you get the best of my love 
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE 
O-O-O-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 alright 
if I could go on sleeping. 

But every mornin' I wake up and worry 
what's gonna h appen 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. 

O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN 
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE ( THE BEST OF MY LOVE )
