THE BEST OF MY LOVE
The Eagles
(Don Henley, Glenn Frey & John David Souther)
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
Ooooh... sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Ooooh... sweet darlin'
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 all right
If I could go on sleeping
But every mornin' I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen 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
Ooooh... but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
Ooooh... sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Ooooh... sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Ooooh... sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
