The Best Part Of Life Is Love.

There’s nothing like a sunset so deep and yet so long,
A sandy beach beneath our feet and a beautiful love song,
But we only have each other in the middle of a busy day,
And I can still find the short, sweet time it takes to turn and say,

Baby, I love you, I’ll always love you,
And I’ll never ever let you go,
And I can’t live without you ‘cos there’s something about you,
And I just tho’t I’d let it show,

This dusty old apartment is getting dry and worn,
The kitchen wall barely stands at all and the curtains have all been torn,
And an old man collects the rent way above our living style,
And it’s things like these that bring me to my knees, but still it’s all worthwhile,
‘Cos one day we’ll have that sunset so deep and yet so long,
A sandy beach beneath our feet and a beautiful love song,
But until we have that moment we’ve got to live today,
So I’ll just find the short, sweet time it takes to turn and say,

Baby, I love you, I’ll always love you,
And I’ll never ever let you go,
And I can’t live without you ‘cos there’s something about you,
And I just tho’t I’d let it show,

Now, finally, we got our sunset so deep and yet so long,
A sandy beach beneath our feet and a beautiful love song,
And you tell me you wish we had those old and busy days,
‘Cos then you knew it was you and not the view that made me turn and say,

Baby, I love you, I’ll always love you,
And I’ll never ever let you go,
And I can’t live without you ‘cos there’s something about you,
And I just tho’t I’d let it show,
‘Cos, Baby, I love you, I’ll always love you,
So I just tho’t I’d let you know.
