The Best I Could
When the kids are leaving home
And I'm walking 'round an empty house
Filled with love and memories
And a feeling that makes me so proud
Like ice in a glass we melted our days
Our time slips away
If I can't say I did my best
I worked so hard and saved to live just like the rest
The simple things in life made us feel good
As long as I can say I did the best I could
Now the leaves are on the ground
And the games have packed into a draw
I look back and feel the love
That I was always searching for
Like dice in a cup we rattle around
With both feet on the ground
If I can't say I did my best
I worked so hard and saved to live just like the rest
The simple things in life made us feel good
As long as I can say I did the best I could
The best I could
I will not have to lose a wink of sleep
The best I could
To give away the things I couldn't keep
When the kids have all left home
But they come around to see us anyway
We can look back and say
We did our best in each and every way
Like dice in a cup we rattle around
With both feet on the ground
If I can't say I did my best
I worked so hard and saved to live just like the rest
The simple things in life made us feel good
As long as I can say I did the best I could
The best I could
I will not have to lose a wink of sleep
The best I could
To give away the things I couldn't keep
And I'm walking 'round an empty house
Filled with love and memories
And a feeling that makes me so proud
Like ice in a glass we melted our days
Our time slips away
If I can't say I did my best
I worked so hard and saved to live just like the rest
The simple things in life made us feel good
As long as I can say I did the best I could
Now the leaves are on the ground
And the games have packed into a draw
I look back and feel the love
That I was always searching for
Like dice in a cup we rattle around
With both feet on the ground
If I can't say I did my best
I worked so hard and saved to live just like the rest
The simple things in life made us feel good
As long as I can say I did the best I could
The best I could
I will not have to lose a wink of sleep
The best I could
To give away the things I couldn't keep
When the kids have all left home
But they come around to see us anyway
We can look back and say
We did our best in each and every way
Like dice in a cup we rattle around
With both feet on the ground
If I can't say I did my best
I worked so hard and saved to live just like the rest
The simple things in life made us feel good
As long as I can say I did the best I could
The best I could
I will not have to lose a wink of sleep
The best I could
To give away the things I couldn't keep
