The Best You Never Had

from If Ever Comes The Day by Mike Haggith

/

lyrics

The fields are greener,
When you outgrow situations
That are meaner,
So we set our stipulations.
I’ve a fast plane
To get over to you now,
Before the day’s done.
And what a difference,
A few odd years can do.
So by this inference,
We should try to see this through.
I need a fast lane
To the strings around your heart,
Next time you get strung.

I think the best times
Are the ones we don’t remember;
There were no signs
When we met in that November, and I..
I think it makes you rather sad.
But I can see you
As we’re dancing by the water,
And your folks think
That you’re the perfect daughter, and I..
I’ll be the best you never had.
I’ll be the best you never had.

They seem to last, now,
All the things you care about.
So can I ask how
You’d be feeling down and out?
Now, just remember,
You can only take so much
Until you’ve had it.
I do what I do
Without thought or rhyme or reason;
If I had you,
We could forge a warmer season.
Understand, dear,
That there’s usually a method to the madness.

I think the best times
Are the ones we don’t remember;
There were no signs
When we met in that November, and I..
I think it makes you rather sad.
But I can see you
As we’re dancing by the water,
And your folks think
That you’re the perfect daughter, and I..
I’ll be the best you never had.
I’ll be the best you never had.

What if I asked you to..
What if I said to you..
What if it all came true?

I think the best times
Are the ones we don’t remember;
There were no signs
When we met in that November, and I..
I think it makes you rather mad.
But I can see you
As we’re dancing by the water,
And your folks think
That you’re the perfect daughter, and I..
I’ll be the best..

I think the best times
Are the ones we don’t remember;
There were no signs
When we met in that November, and I..
I think it makes you rather sad.
But I can see you
As we’re dancing by the water,
And your folks think
That you’re the perfect daughter, and I..
I’ll be the best you never had.
I’ll be the best you never had.
I’ll be the best you never had.
I’ll be the best you never had.
I’ll be the best you never had.
