I`ve had my share of life`s ups and downs
But fate`s been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I`ve been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it`s all because of you
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Ooo, you`ll be there between each line of pain and glory
`Cause you`re the best thing that ever happened to me
Ah, you`re the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
`Cause for every moment that I`ve spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you`ll be there between each line of pain and glory
`Cause you`re the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you`re the best thing that ever happened to me
I know, you`re the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me Send " The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me" Ringtone to your Cell
