The Best of It All

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A little bar with the lights down low, Cavitell's, so long ago. I saw a smile that lit the room, Ebony eyes cutting through the gloom. Something told me right from the start, This kind of love could mend a heart. [Chorus] My Love, you took us in, Soul mate and best friend. You loved a ready-made family true, Showed us all what real love do. Twenty-eight years, still I fall, Troy, you're the best of it all. [Verse 2] By the fireplace we swayed that night, A first dance in the flickering light. I knew right then, deep in my chest, That you would be my forever, my rest. You held my babies as your own, Taught us love, a steady home. [Chorus] My Love, you took us in, Soul mate and best friend. You loved a ready-made family true, Showed us all what real love do. Twenty-eight years, still I fall, Troy, you're the best of it all. [Bridge] When you asked me to be your wife, You handed me a brand new life. Dark skin glowing, that bright smile wide, The kindest man walking by my side. [Verse 3] Now the years have proven it right, Every morning, every night. Joy and gratitude, devotion too, Everything I have leads back to you. Family grown from a single spark, You are my light inside the dark. [Chorus] My Love, you took us in, Soul mate and best friend. You loved a ready-made family true, Showed us all what real love do. Twenty-eight years, still I fall, Troy, you're the best of it all. [Outro] My Love, my always, my home, With you I'm never alone.
