Lyrics
I could be discontent
And chase the rainbow’s end
I might win much more but lose all that is mine
I could be a lot
But I know I’m not
I’m content just with the riches that you bring
I might shoot to win and commit the sin
Of wanting more than I’ve already got
I could run away
But I’d rather stay
In the warmth of your smile
Lighting up my day
The one that makes me say
You’re The Best Thing
That Ever Happened
To me or my World
You’re The Best Thing
That Ever Happened
So don’t go away
I might be a king
And tief my people’s things
But I don’t go in for that
Power crazy way
All that I could rule
But I don’t check for fools
All I need is to be left to live my way
So listen what I say
You’re The Best Thing
That Ever Happened
To me or my World
You’re The Best Thing
That Ever Happened
So don’t go away
You’re the soul of me
You’re the best for me
Come and rock my dreams
And take these chains from me
You’re the soul of me
You’re the best for me
Come and rock my dreams
And take these chains from me
You’re The Best Thing
That Ever Happened
To me or my World
You’re The Best Thing
That Ever Happened
So don’t go I said don’t go I said don’t go away
