The Best I Can

(album: Celebration - 1992)

You can turn and walk away
You can leave your dreams standing
You look sad and tired and lonely
Down and beaten, feeling freezing
Yet all that sorrow
Never freezes me
Come on, talk to me
Come on talk to me
Easy now, easy now, easy
Then take me
Take my hand and don't let go
Never let it go, never let it go
And even me, believe in me
Not crying

I'll say once more, I am a man
And I just do the best I can
And I believe that sorrow's dying
Then we can be alive again
And I can be there to the end
And I can be around tomorrow and tomorrow
And I can be your guiding light
And when you walk the floor at night
I can help you find the answers
And I can be a lifelong friend
And I can be there to the end
And I will never go
No, I will never go again

And still you say goodbye to me
And I must go, my lady
Crying all the way to dying
All the way to dying
And I would never leave you go
I would never hurt you so
I would never take you from my mind
From my mind, from my mind
Ooh

I'll say once more, I am a man
And I just do the best I can
And I must make an end to sorrow
And I can see what I can see
And I must be what I must be
And I have strength that you can borrow, you can borrow
And I will be your guiding light
And when you walk the floors at night
I can help you find the answers
And I can be your lifelong friend
And I will be there to the end
And I will never go
No, I will never go again

And when one day we look back in time
We'll see the hill we had to climb
And when one day we look back in time
We'll see the hill we climbed
