The Best Of You (has Got The Best Of Me)

The Best Of You (Has Got The Best Of Me)

(Kim Carnes/Eddie Reeves)

Memories are the only things that time can't take away
You read a book, you write a song, the time's been spent
But in your mind the story still remains
The song plays on

Memories can get the best of you
They can turn you inside out just when you least expect'em to
And times when I'm alone, I think of things we've done
And then I laugh right out loud to myself
Sometimes I fool myself

How could you possibly know
How could you possibly see
Yes and how could you possibly know
That the best of you has got the best of me

Good and bad take it all in stride
But I'd be lying if I said I didn't you here beside me
When it took so long to find you
Now I just can't let you go, can't let you go

How could you possibly know
How could you possibly see
Yes and how could you possibly know
That the best of you has got the best of me
