Best Thing Copyright 4-11-2005 by J.M. DAGO Marchellino
1. I've held many things -All a life can bring Flown on broken wings-The best I could... Held my baby daughters crying-Held a Brother who lay dying Held hard feelings-much longer than I should... Held to my beliefs-Even when they caused me grief Held to dreams-Still ain't come true... And I knew it well-Yeah you pulled me back from hell When you held me close to you....
Chorus: I've been running, Yeah running For way too long And all these miles-I've had to go Left me weary and alone... But you made my day- My blues went away, The day you said "I do" You're the best thing I ever held And I'll keep holding on to you...
2. I've held money, gold and jewels-I've held court on several fools Held my head up high and proud along the way... I've held vigils on the bottle-Ripped the cable from my throtthe Held my tongue when I had nothing good to say... Held my Colors and my Diamond-Up these mountains I've been climbing Held a weathered eye upon the world I see... Held my course through stormy weather-But it's never gotten better Than when you're lying here with me...
Chorus: I've been running, Yeah running For way too long And all these roads-I've had to travel Led me further from my home... But you caused my heart to shine- When you showed me you're all mine, Your love will see me through You're the best thing I ever held And I'll keep holding on to you...
(Bridge)
3. I hold memories from my past-As these years fly by too fast Held my ground where others walked or ran away I hold faces in my mind-Those who saw when I was blind I hold secrets I'll take with me to my grave Held my anger till I boiled-I've held pure and null and spoiled Held myself to higher standards every day I've held new and used and rotten-But these things are all forgotten When you're loving me this way...
Chorus: I've been running, yeah running through the darkness way too long And this highway's been a lonely road Searching for the place where I belonged You're the sunshine to my night Now I'm standing in your light I know my search is through Cause you're the best thing I ever held And I'll keep holding on to you
Outro: This old heart of mine Keeps on keeping time Until our lives are through And you're the best thing I ever held And I'll keep holding on to you Yeah you're the best thing I ever held And I'll keep holding on....... Holding on to you.
Spoken: You're the best thing I ever held And I'll keep holding on...
