Someday when you look back  – and think about the good times that we shared    –        I gave you the best part.

And even when times were tough – you could always count on me to be there      –           I gave you the best part.

I gave you the best part of my life. I gave you my home, my bed, my children. The seeds of my existence lie with you. And if I could live my life again, there isn’t a thing that I’d do different. I’m proud to say – I always gave the best part.

Recall the many nights of pain  – you couldn’t sleep and you couldn’t walk        –       I gave you all my support

It nearly drove us both insane  – but I held you close – and we would talk         –        I gave you my open heart

I gave you the best part of my life. I gave you my trust and all my secrets. You know my closest confidant is you. And if I could live my life again, there isn’t a thing that I’d do different. I’m proud to say – I always gave the best part.

Who knows what the future holds  – we may be rich or we may be poor         –        But I’ll give you the best part

And later when we both grow old     – We’ll still be together – that’s for sure           –      And I’ll give you the best part

I’m giving you the best part of my life. I’m giving you my hopes, my dreams, my future. For all my plans begin and end with you. And if I could live my life again, there isn’t a thing that I’d do different. I’m proud to say – I always gave the best part.
