Paroles de Love Takes The Best Of You

I didn't know your mother But this is what I have been told That she cried and she cried When she gave you up at three days old She was from the countryside In Cambodia, a farmer's wife With too many mouths to feed She wanted you to see a better life Love takes the best of you Love takes the best of you You don't look like me And baby, we don't look like you But our love is so complete It don't matter eyes are brown or blue There are people in this world Who won't understand our family We'll protect you where we can Some times you'll have to stand And help them see Love takes the best of you Love takes the best of you Every night when I watch you sleep I want to watch over you forever Keep you safe with me And I wish I could promise you a beautiful world That would never break your heart Maybe that's what we are here for We try and fix what comes apart Love takes the best of you Love takes the best of you Love takes the best of you Love takes the best of you
