I've had my share
Of life's ups and down
But fate's been kind
The downs have been few

I guess you could say
That I've been lucky
Oh, I guess you could say
That it's all because of you

If anyone should ever write my life story
(For whatever reason) 
For whatever reason there might 
(There might be)
Ooh, you'll be there 
(Ooh, ooh) 
Between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing 
(You're the best thing that ever happened to me)
That ever happened to me 
(You're the best thing that ever happened to me)
Ah, you're the best thing 
You're the best thing) 
That ever happened to me

Oh, there have been times
When times were hard
But always somehow I made,
I made it through

'Cause for every moment
That I've spent hurrying
There was a moment
That I've spent on just loving you, yeah

If anyone should ever write my life story
For, for whatever 
(For whatever reason) 
For whatever reason there might 
(There might be)
Oh, you'll be there 
(Ooh, ooh)
Between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing 
(You're the best thing that ever happened to me)
That ever happened to me 
(You're the best thing that ever happened to me)
Oh, you're the best thing 
(You're the best thing) 
That ever happened to me
(You're the best thing that ever happened to me)
I know you're the best thing 
(You're the best) 
Oh, that ever happened to me
Hey, hey, hey
