Paul Carrack - The Best I Could Lyrics
When the kids are leaving home
And I'm walking round an empty house
Filled with love and memories
And a feeling that makes me so proud
Our time slips away
If I can't say I did my best
I worked so hard and saved to live just like the rest
The simple things in that life made us feel good
As long as I can say I did the best I could
Now the leaves are on the ground
And the games have packed into a draw
I look back and feel the love
Like dice in a cup we rattle around
With both feet on the ground
If I can't say I did my best
I worked so hard and saved to live just like the rest
The simple things in that life made us feel good
As long as I can say I did the best I could
The best I could
I will not have to lose a wink of sleep
The best I could
To give away the things I couldn't keep
When the kids have all left home
But they come around to see us anyway
We can look back and say
We did our best in each and every way
Like dice in a cup we rattle around
With both feet on the ground
If I can't say I did my best
I worked so hard and saved to live just like the rest
The simple things in that life made us feel good
As long as I can say I did the best I could
The best I could
I will not have to lose a wink of sleep
The best I could
To give away the things I couldn't keep

Great track Mr C
Paul IS one of THE BEST ever !! I AM NOW 55 and grew up with this man's music !
Utterly beautiful and as a father it resonates so much
Was nick Lowe involved in this song??
Robert Sharp No, but I believe that Chris Difford co-wrote this one.
Great song and lyrics as expected Mr C, You always do your best!
Still the best male voice in Britain!
I'd not be as shy as you Martin.... Ever since i first heard the man i felt he was on the very top of the game. His songs are top of the bill and his voice knows no match, He still is, after all those years, my top ranking artist for live performances and studio recordings..... Next set of concerts in the Netherlands will be visited to give me, once again, my portion of feel good and the thrill of hearing him live once again.
Beautiful, sir
Great song by a Legend
