BEST OF MY LOVE
(Don Henley / Glenn Frey / J. D. Souther)
The Eagles - 1974


Every night I'm lyin' in bed
holdin' you close in my dreams,
thinkin' about all the things that we said
and comin' apart at the seams.
We try to talk it over but the words come out too rough.
I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love.

Beautiful faces and loud empty places,
look at the way that we live.
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
left us so little to give.
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud that we could never 
rise above
but here in my heart I give you the best of my love.

O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' you get the best of my love
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE
O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' you get the best of my love
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE

I'm goin' back in time and it's a sweet dream,
it was a quiet night and I would be alright
if I could go on sleeping.

But every mornin' I wake up and worry
what's gonna happen today.
You see it your way and I see it mine
but we both see it slippin' away.
You know we always had each other, baby, I guess that wasn't enough.
Oh, but here in my heart I give you the best of my love.

O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin'
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin'
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin'
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin'
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin'
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin'
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-OH Sweet Darlin' mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' you got it
You get the best of my love (Fade)
