Lyrics
NOTHING BUT THE BEST laurie horn
You came to me last night, not unexpected
But you were a surprise
Not what I imagined
I thought you'd be smaller, no-- maybe bigger
If only you'd open your eyes
What would I see?
Chorus
Is there more of me or less
Because of you my child.
Are you a copy of me, no-- and yes.
There are parts of me in you
Though nothing but the best.
You're holdin' on so tight, with those tiny fingers
You're melting my heart.
Your eyes are open now
I can't believe it, you're looking at me.
As I look into your eyes
Am I seeing mine?
Chorus
I will sing to you of sunlight
Of angel's wings and kings
The pleasures of a puddle
Soaring on a swing.
I could live right here forever, watching you sleeping
The perfect moment in time
And as our hearts beat side by side
I can't tell which is mine?
Chorus. Now there's more of me, not less...
