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
