Best Of Me Lyrics

by Chrisette Michele

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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e66904-chrisette_michele~best_of_me_lyrics.html ]
I found a smile against my will
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'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 swallow my pain
It's my time to find the best of me

Can't be the time to be begging
Can't be the time to plead, no
My momma made me much wiser
What's mine will be just for me

I'm trying hard just to 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 swallow my pain
It's my time to find the best of me

Oh my why have I been just so foolish all this time
Not realizing the beauty that your eyes once saw in mine
I guess its 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 swallow my pain
It's my time to find the best of me

The best of me
