All That's Best In You

“Ok…This is all that's best in you, a song for Elizabeth”

You've grown so much, you've come so far

I never thought we'd end up here

You know I've seen this picture before

Reminds me of when you were home

Sometimes you're all I see

Sometimes you're all I feel

Wanted to tell you goodbye

And know that you're safe

Now that the pain is gone,

The love remains

Though all my faults turn out to be so true

I couldn't see...

All that was best in you

All that was best in you

Worked so hard it broke your heart

Robbed you of your smile that would save the world

A friend now more for a friend I lost

A friend that never left me unsure

I am sure

Wanted to tell you I lied

Oh, I made mistakes

And when I failed in life it was you I blamed

Though all my faces you could see right through

I couldn't see...

All that was best in you

You are my hope (I'm giving in)

You are the ink under my skin

You are the day that I awake

You'd be the only chance I'd take

All I am and was before

The things I love and I adore

My handful of hope and a little more

Wanted to tell you I tried

To make it ok

With just one letter gone I lost the name

Of that little boy smiling back at you

He couldn't see all that was best in you.

“That's it”
