THE BEST PART OF MY LIFE

And from this windowpane the world seems like a dream,
The lights shine on these streets where you and I have been —
Sometimes I think I see you lookin’ back at me,

‘Cause loving you has been a story without end,
A river running through my heart and back again,
A place where I was safe when the world felt like a knife —
Loving you has been the best part of my life.

Your arms gave me faith to reach out for the light,
And although I was lost sometimes, I ran to you each night.
And if these rooms could speak, they’d cry your name out loud,
And if my heart had wings to fly beyond the clouds
I’d carry you away beyond this maddening crowd,

‘Cause loving you has been a story without end,
A river running through my life and back again
A place where I was safe when the world felt like a knife —
Loving you has been the best part of my life.

And from this windowpane the world seems like a dream,
The lights shine on these streets where you and I have been —
Sometimes I think I see you looking back at me,

To a place where I was safe when the world felt like a knife —
Loving you has been the best part of my life.
