It's been a year filled with problems
But now you're here, almost as if to solve them
And I can't live in a world without you, now

All my life I've been searching for you
How did I survive in this world before you?
Cause I don't want to live another day without you, now

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening to you and me

All I want to have is all that you can give me
And I'll give right back everything I've kept in me
Cause nothing ever felt as right as this does right now

I'll go back to before we met
Try and erase the past, try harder to forget
Cause nothing will ever be as good as here and now

Cause when I looked into your eyes and you dared to stare right back
You should have said, "Nice to meet you, I'm your other half"

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening to you and me

The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

I always knew
I'd find someone
I never dreamed
It'd be like this
Cause you've surpassed all that I'd hoped for and ever wished
And I'm trying so hard, with all my heart and mind
To make your life as good as you've made mine

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening to you and me

The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening to you and me
