Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've had my share

Of life's ups and downs

But fate's been kind

The downs have been few

[Verse 2]

I guess you could say

That I've been lucky

Well, I guess you could say

That it's all because of you

[Chorus]

If anyone

Should ever write

My life story

(For whatever reason there might be) For whatever reason there might be

[Chorus]

Oh, you'll be there

Between each line of pain and glory

'Cause you're the best thing (You're the best thing that ever happened to me)

That ever happened to me (You're the best thing that ever happened to me)

Ah, you are the best thing

That ever happened to me

[Verse 3]

Oh, there have been times

When times were hard

But always, somehow I made it

I made it through

[Verse 4]

'Cause for every moment

That I've spent hurting

There was a moment that I spent

Ah, just loving you, ah-yeah

[Chorus]

If anyone

Should ever write

My life story

Oh, for whatever, for whatever reason there might be (For whatever reason there might be)

[Chorus]

Oh, you'll be there

Between each line of pain and glory

'Cause you're the best thing (You're the best thing that ever happened to me)

That ever happened to me (You're the best thing that ever happened to me)

[Chorus]

Ah, you're the best thing (You're the best thing that ever happened to me)

That ever happened to me (You're the best thing that ever happened to me)

I know, you're the best thing (You're the best thing)

Oh, that ever happened to me
