The Best I Could

Lyrics

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
