I've had my share of life's ups and downs

But fate's been kind, the downs have been few

I guess you could say that I've been lucky

Well, I guess you could say that it's all because of you

If anyone should ever write my life story

For whatever reason there might be

Ooo, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory

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

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

Oh, there have been times when times were hard

But always somehow I made it, I made it through

'Cause for every moment that I've spent hurting

There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you

If anyone should ever write my life story

For whatever reason there might be

Oh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory

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

Oh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me

I know, you're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me
