[Verse 1]
Every night, I'm lying in bed   
Holding you close in my dreams
Thinking about all the things that we said
And coming apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough

[Refrain]
I know you were trying     
To give me the best of your love

[Verse 2]
Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
(ooh) That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
(ooh) That we could never rise above

[Refrain]
But here in my heart    
I give you the best of my love

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling, my darling
you get the best of my love
oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling, my sweet darling
you get the best of my love

[Bridge]
(Ooh) I'm going back in time      
And it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night      
And I would be all right
If I could go on sleeping

[Verse 3]
But every morning  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
(Ooh, ooh) You know we always had each other, baby
(Ooh, ooh) I guess that wasn't enough

[Refrain]
Oh-uh-oh, but here in my heart   
I give you the best of my love
​
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling, my darling
You get the best of my love   (The best of my love)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling, my sweet darling
You get the best of my love   (The best of my love)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling,  every night and day
You get the best of my love    (The best of my love)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling,  Mm-mm-mm
You get the best,    yes, you get the best of my love
