"Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me"

(As recorded by Gladys Knight & The Pips)
JIM WEATHERLY

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
And I guess you could say it's all because of you.

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
You'd be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
You're the best thing that ever happened to me.

Lord there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it through
'Cause for ev'ry moment I've spent hurting
There was a moment spent loving you.

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
You'd be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
You're the best thing that ever happened to me.
