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   Ooh, 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, yeah      If anyone should ever write my life story   Oh, 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   Hey, hey, hey
