(will jennings/stephen allen davis) Everytime I feel how life goes by I recall the scenes that never die One fine day One fine night You loving me On and on and on We took our love as far as love can go You've given me the best years of my life When I play my memories again I feel all the pleasure and the pain Love can hurt Love can heal Oh, how we hurt and healed ourselves again We took our souls as far as souls can go You've given me the best years of my life You've given me the best years of my life Bring on the storm We'll see it through We'll take it all All life can do Right to the end We'll say let's begin You've given me the best years of my life I wanna thank you I wanna thank you You've given me the best years of my life I wanna thank you For the best years of my life
