I DID THE BEST I COULD (WITH WHAT I HAD)
(Conway Twitty)

Conway Twitty - 1969



 
And I did the best I could with what I had

When I first met you I promised you the world
And it was all because you were my favorite girl
Pretty things like diamond rings
And all the things you never had
But I did the best I could with what I had

I know you wanted a mansion on the hill
A big fine car, a chauffeur at the wheel
But time passed on and things went wrong
And all you ever got was sad
But I did the best I could with what I had

And all I had was all the love in the world for one girl
And the promise to try harder some way to get ahead
But the promises I made are broken and betrayed
But I did the best I could with what I had
Yes, I did the best I could with what I had
