best of me lyrics

Saw you again at the parlor
Crossing the walk with your lady
I caught your eye from afar off
I noticed she wore a ring

I found a smile against my wheel
Wish it was genuine
I put away my desire
No more in love with you still
Look I'm moving on

Loved you, lost you
Thought I gave you all the best of me
We've departed, broken hearted
I need to be free

What we had was oh so lovely
I'll swear on my fate
It's my time to find the best of me

Can't be too tired to be begging
Can't be too tired to plead, no
My mama made me much wiser
Which man will be just for me, yeah

I'm trying hard to just forget
I'm crying hard to sleep, yeah
Promise I'm glad you're happy
When it's my time it will be
Look I'm moving on

Loved you, lost you
Thought I'd gave you all the best of me
We've departed, broken hearted
I need to be free

What we had was, oh, so lovely
I'll swear on my fate
It's my time to find the best of me

All my life have I been just so foolish all these times
Not realizing the beauty that your eyes once saw in mine
I guess it's time to find the best in me

Loved you, lost you
Thought I'd gave you all the best of me
We've departed, broken hearted
I need to be free

What we had was, oh, so lovely
I'll swear on my fate
It's my time to find the best of me

The best of me
