The Best I Can

(album: Oxymoron - 2020)

I'm not giving you excuses
But I'm not as young as I once was
Yet still I come with many uses
Like Vaseline does

I'm pretty good at doing man stuff
I'd come and fix your squeaky door
I'd charm the lids off all your jam jars
And so much more

But
I won't be climbing any mountains
I won't be swimming any seas
I won't be fighting any dragons
Or anything like that to please
But I will do the best I can love
I will do the best I can love

Oh I can't promise violins now
No I can't promise you the Earth
But I'd wash your car and put your bins out
For what it's worth

And I can't bear to leave it unsaid
I would walk a country mile
Or maybe five but not five hundred
Proclaimers style

And
I won't be climbing any mountains
I won't be swimming any seas
I won't be fighting any dragons
Or anything like that to please

So I will climb until I fall off
I will swim until I sink
And I will fight until I drop love
Just to be your King

I will do the best I can love
I will do the best I can love
