My Best Was Good Enough

(album: It's Alright With Me - 1979)

Sitting by the window all alone
Trying to understand just what went wrong
The man I love has gone away
But the reason why he couldn't say
Perhaps he just got tired of making plans
And promises of things we never had
Well I done my best yet things got kind of rough
But for me, my best was good enough, yes

I try to keep an open mind
That he would come to realize in time
But as I go from day to day
I tell myself that there's no other way
And perhaps he never understood
That I was only doing the best I could
Well, I wish him all the very best of luck
As for me, my best was good enough, mm hmm
Said I wish him all the very best of luck
As for me, my best was good enough
