Lyrics
THE BEST TEARS OF MY LIFE
Words and Music by Daniel Curzon
VERSE #1:
I REMEMBER YOU SAID YOU'D BET I'D MISS YOU.
I REMEMBER I SAID: (spoken) LET'S WAIT AND SEE.
NOW THE YEARS HAVE FADED, LIKE AN OLD TATTOO,
AND TO EACH OTHER WE ARE JUST A MEMORY!
CHORUS:
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES AND CONCENTRATE
SOME THINGS STLL CUT ME LIKE A KNIFE.
I GUESS I GAVE YOU TOO LITTLE, DARLIN'.
BUT YOU GAVE ME THE BEST TEARS OF MY LIFE.
VERSE #2:
DID YOU REALLY LOVE ME, OR ONLY JUST PRETEND?
DID I EVER LOVE YOU? WELL, (spoken) AT LEAST I TRIED.
SEEMS I COULDN'T BE YOUR LOVER OR YOUR FRIEND.
NOW ALL I FEEL IS DEEPLY UNSATISFIED.
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE #3:
I USED TO THINK MAYBE YOU WERE USING ME.
THEN I REALIZED THAT'S (spoken) A TWO-WAY STREET.
OUR BEST-LAID, WICKED PLANS WENT "GANG AFT AGLEY."
NOW ALL I PRAY IS WE NEVER, EVER MEET.
REPEAT CHORUS.
PLUS extra at end: I GUESS I GAVE YOU TOO LITTLE, (spoken) DARLIN'.
BUT I GAVE YOU THE BEST TEARS OF MY LIFE.
