You Are the Best Thing Lyrics
Baby
It's been a long day, baby
Things ain't been going my way
And now I need you here
To clear my mind all the time
And baby
The way you move me, it's crazy
It's like you see right through me
And make it easier
Believe me, you don't even have to try
[Chorus]
Oh, because
You are the best thing
(you're the best thing)
You are the best thing
(you're the best thing, baby)
You are the best thing
(you're the best thing, oh)
Ever happened to me
Baby
We've come a long way
And baby
You know I hope and I pray
That you believe me
When I say this love will never fade away
[Chorus]
Both of us had no love before
To come on promising like a spring to walk on out the door
Our words are strong and our hearts are kind
Let me tell you just exactly what's on my mind
[Chorus: x2]
It's been a long day, baby
Things ain't been going my way
And now I need you here
To clear my mind all the time
The way you move me, it's crazy
It's like you see right through me
And make it easier
Believe me, you don't even have to try
Oh, because
You are the best thing
(you're the best thing)
You are the best thing
(you're the best thing, baby)
You are the best thing
(you're the best thing, oh)
Ever happened to me
We've come a long way
And baby
You know I hope and I pray
That you believe me
When I say this love will never fade away
To come on promising like a spring to walk on out the door
Our words are strong and our hearts are kind
Let me tell you just exactly what's on my mind

What a fantastic new song from Ray LaMontagne! I love its easy motown vibe and simple, joyful lyrics. The perfect dancing-in-the-living-room song.
Whoever this song is dedicated to, that person must be the best thing.
I just heard this song for the first time today. And I LOVE it!!!!! It reminds me of a 60's song. Ray's voice is kinda like Joe Cockers at least on this song. I'm a fan now and I'm gonna buy his albums!
I don't have to say anything, crystalynn84 said it already. Nailed it! Where is the motown sound these days?
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG! just listened to it actually. wow, i'm gonna have to take a closer listen to his other stuff.
Oh you have too... Ray touches the soul!!
Oh you have too... Ray touches the soul!!
oh god! i absolutely DIE for his voice in this song. i'll be seeing him tomorrow night!! so excited!! his new album is too beautiful.
