Lyrics

THE BEST OF YOU IN ME

Every slip, every fall,
Every catch of every baseball,
Every time I needed someone looking over my
shoulder?
Every tear, every trial,
Ever since I was a child,
You were with me all the while,
Even as I got older.
I see the best of you in me.
Is that your smile in the mirror?
Your voice in every song I sing,
In every little thing I see
The best of you in me.
Every spring, every fall,
Every last long distance phone call,
Every time I needed answers that were honest
and true?
You were my education,
Every single situation,
Each and every graduation
I?d look out and see you.
I see the best of you in me.
Is that your smile in the mirror?
Your voice in every song I sing,
In every little thing I see
The best of you in me.
Time marches on through everything.
Tomorrow becomes yesterday.
It?s hard to hold onto anything,
But all that you taught me is only a memory
away.
Every slip, every fall,
Every pitch of every baseball,
Any time they need someone there to be
honest and true?
Every tear, every trial,
Every step of every mile,
I?ll be with them all the while
Thinking ?What would you do??
?Cause I see the best of you in me.
Is that your smile in the mirror?
Your voice in every song I sing,
In every little thing I see
