"And The Best Thing" - Original Song By Me


I've been driving miles and miles,
Just to see one of your smiles,
The road's been long and dusty,
But I know that you're the one.

And my heart is beating fast,
Cos I know it's gonna last,
This heart's been broken twice before,
But they say third time's the charm.

So now I'm looking to the future,
And I know I've got so much more to see,
There's an open road right in front of my eyes,
And the best thing...
Is you're travelling it with me.

There's a ring upon my left hand,
As I walk across this heartland,
Every day you say you love me,
And each word I hear is true.

I've a memory full of past pain,
I was beaten by the hard rain,
But you came along and saved me,
And every day I smile with joy.

So now I'm looking to the future,
And I know I've got so much more to see,
There's an open road right in front of my eyes,
And the best thing...
Is you're travelling it with me.
Yes the best thing...
Is you're travelling it with me.

No road is daunting if you have someone to travel it with you.

The journey is much interesting than the destination and to take it with someone you truly love beats anything else. Lovely poem Donnie.

Hi Jinksy,
I've only half-written a melody for this song... it's a ballad but I need to improve it a bit more... X

When you'ver finished the melody you HAVE to send it off to someone famous to sing. That's how a lot of them get their songs.

Hi Expat mum,
Great idea! I will have to do that! I have so many lyrics and poems that I have written that may stand a chance!
I can see this one here becoming a kind of country song... not my style of song but I feel the words would fit well in a country song X
