I'LL NEVER DO BETTER THAN YOU
(Tom T. Hall)


Tom T. Hall - 1976


No matter where in this big world I roam
With all of its wonders to see
There'll always be one I can never forget
Precious and special to me

I'll never do better than you
You were the light of my life
Some other girl might be faithful and true
But I'll never do better than you

(Instrumental Break)

I know you don't care if I live or I die
You live in a mansion so fine
Someday sweetheart if you ever get blue
Remember this letter of mine

I'll never do better than you
You were the light of my life
Some other girl might be faithful and true
But I'll never do better than you

(Instrumental Break)

There's fish in the ocean and birds in the trees
They've all got a partner for life
But I will be lonely as long as I live
I wanted you for my wife

And I'll never do better than you
You were the light of my life
Some other girl might be faithful and true
But I'll never do better than you
