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      i found the smile-again-smile 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 give you all the best of me   we 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 type to be begging   can be the type to plea   my momma made me much wiser   what's mine will be just for me      i'm trying hard just to focus   i'm crying hard to sleep   promise i'm glad your happy   when it's my time it will be    look i'm moving on      loved you, lost you, thought i'd give you all the best of me   we 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 these times   [not realize] not realizin' in the beauty that your eyes once saw in mine   i guess it's time to find the best in me      loved you, lost you, thought i'd give you all the best of me   we 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
