I ve had my share of life s ups and downs
But fate s been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I ve been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it s all because of you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Ooo, you ll be there between each line of pain and glory
Cause you re the best thing that ever happened to me
Ah, you re the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
Cause for every moment that I ve spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you ll be there between each line of pain and glory
Cause you re the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you re the best thing that ever happened to me
I know, you re the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me
