The Best Part Of Me
The Best Part of Me
Verse 1
I was just an ordinary man, rough hands and a wandering soul
Running hard, chasing nothing, headed down a rocky road
Then she came along like morning light cutting through the haze
Brought out something in me I couldn’t see through the smokey days
She pulled the best part of me up from somewhere deep inside
With a quiet kind of loving and a gentle kind of pride
Chorus
She brought out the best part of me
The man I always hoped that I could be
Taught me how to love, made me want to stand and fight
How to hold on to what’s good when the world ain’t right
Yeah, she brought out the best part of me
The only part worth anything
Even now that she’s gone, I still feel her touch
Bringing out the best part of me
Verse 2
She made me a better daddy, made me want to be a better man
Showed our babies how to pray and how to take a stand
When the world came crashing down and the world tried to break us
She looked me in the eyes and I could her faith in God and me
Through forty years of love and strife the grace of god in her veins
She still smiled like an angel and helped me do the same
Chorus
She brought out the best part of me
The man I always hoped that I could be
Taught me how to love, made me want to stand and fight
How to hold on to what’s good when the world ain’t right
Yeah, she brought out the best part of me
The only part worth anything
Even now that she’s gone, I still feel her touch
Bringing out the best part of me
Bridge
Now when I look in the mirror, I still see a little of her light
In the way I get up every day and try to do what’s right
Every good thing that I am, every decent thing I do
Is because she saw the man I could be and helped me become him too
Final Chorus
She brought out the best part of me
And that part’s gonna last for eternity
When I finally make it home and I see her sweet face
I’ll thank her for the mercy and the amazing grace
Yeah, you brought out the best part of me
The best I’ll ever be
Kathryn… thank you for setting the best part of me free
Outro
You brought out the best part of me…
Still bringing out the best part of me…
