The Best of My Love

Written by Glenn Frey, Don Henley and John Souther

Performed by The Eagles

Every night i'm lyin' in bed
Holdin' you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
Comin' apart at the seams

We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love

Beautiful faces and loud empty places

Look at the way that we live

Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine

Left us so little to give

That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart
I give you the best of my love

Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
(You get the best of my love)
Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
(You get the best of my love)

I'm goin' 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
But every mornin' I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today?
You see it your way I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away

You know we always had each other baby
(Ooh...) I guess that wasn't enough oh-oh ooh whoa
But here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
(The best of my love) Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
(The best of my love) Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin'
Every night and day
You get the best of my love
(The best of my love) Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin'
Oh-oh oh-oh
You get the best of my love
(The best of my love) Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
(You get the best of my love)
The best of my love Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin'
Mmm-mmm mmm-mmm-mmm
You get the best of my love
(The best of my love) Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin'
You got it
You got it
