Best I've Ever Seen (PDF)

Off and running, up and coming

Morning in the East;

Spent the night wound so tight

With no chance of release.

In the sky I see the light

Of that morning star;

Somewhere you can see it too,

And I'm wishing I was where you are.

Though I can't bridge the years and the miles laid in between,

I have learned with every step that you are still the best I've ever seen.

Two young lovers undercover

On a dirt road Friday night,

Touched and dreamed—the windows steamed

And the radio just cried.

Hearts a-racing, kisses tasting

Warm and wild and sweet,

And the dashboard light lit up your smile

When I said, "You're all I need."

I don't know why things couldn't work the way we dreamed,

But moments not forgotten yet remind me you're the best I've ever seen.

Oh, you're the best I've ever seen.

Take a listen to the band and I remember when we danced;

I'm thinking things I might've said and wishing that I had just one more chance.

Won't you give me one more chance.

Too obsessed I came out west

And I found a place to hide.

You took a lover, then another,

Never satisfied.

And the people say it's such a shame

To see your appetite

And to see me chase the sun and end up running into lonely nights.

I look at that star again and I see you as a queen—

Standing in your blue dress, girl, you'll always be the best I've ever seen.

Oh, you're the best I've ever seen.
