Lyrics


THE BEST THEY EVER HEARD



THERE?S BEEN GOOD DAYS AND BAD DAYS

AND A THOUSAND DAYS BETWEEN.

SOMETIMES YOU WAKE AND WONDER

WHAT THE HELL DOES IT MEAN.


(chorus)

YOU PUT YOUR HEART AND SOUL

INTO EACH AND EVERY SONG

THEY HANG ON TO EVERY WORD.

AND TONIGHT THEY?RE GONNA TELL YOU

YOU?RE THE BEST THEY EVER HEARD



ALL THE EYES ARE ON YOU

AND EVERYTHING YOU DO

YOU LIVED AND LOVED A LIFE OF MUSIC

BUT IT?S GOT THE BEST OF YOU.


TO (chorus)

(LAST CHORUS) YOU KNOW THEY ALWAYS TELL YOU?

good acoustic work. good feeling in the vocals. great overall mood.

The delicate guitar brought me to a tear in 4 measures. The vocal was not a disappointment; rugged sweetness. Thesong has a tenderness and a depth that I dearly love. You are NOT the best I ever heard; ah, but you are indeed absolutely superb! The lyrics are sensitive and authentic. I like your style. It may be that I hear your message differently than you intended; I hear pain disguised as anger. Still, I quite loved it. It opened my longings. The ambience and tone of the song quite overshadowed what was for me an incomnplete lyric. I long to hear more.
