I’ve had my share of life’s ups and downs
But fate’s been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I’ve been lucky
And I guess you could say it’s all because of you
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be You’d be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you’re the best thing that ever happened to me You’re the best thing that ever happened to me Lord there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it through
'Cause for ev’ry moment I’ve spent hurting
There was a moment spent loving you
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be You’d be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you’re the best thing that ever happened to me You’re the best thing that ever happened to me
Buried my mother last Thursday , she passed away May 11 2019. I didn’t even know hurt like this even existed. She was working in her flower garden one minute, went in the house, and sat in her chair and just like that, my precious momma was gone. This is the song played at funeral. Just one more look in your green eyes, is all I want. RIP.. my sweet, sweet, angel. Thank you for giving me life. Good-Bye Momma. Job well done.
I cry to this song, dedicate it to my daughter whom I've raised alone, she's 18 now and will be leaving me soon to start her own life in college, may God be with both of us, she is my one thing I did right in my life, lots of hard times we've saw together for sure, living proof that life is good...
This song is for my wife that I have love her since the day we met and I will always sing this song to her for the rest of my life! We've been together for fifty-six years!
Beyonce? Rhianna? Lil Kim? Jennifer Lopez? I don't care what contemporary singer you may bring forth...They couldn't hold this women's purse...I feel so sorry for young people. They've missed so much...
With most other singers, you notice their technique. With Gladys
Knight, however, you notice the emotion she puts in her music. You just know it's from the heart.
Single mother, no one to turn too. One child, didn't think I could do it alone, looked at his face many of a time, and thought adoption, I thought he would be better without me. No heat, no food, I had him in my arms, ready to be left on a door step. I cried so hard, and I couldn't let him go. I struggled, and I brought him to adulthood, he is best thing, that ever happened to me. He is a law abiding cititzen and success now. He is the best thing that ever happened to me.
It was just 1 year ago that my beautiful lady took the heartbreaking decision not to go through with another 6 months of chemotherapy. This song was on the radio as we travelled to the hospital. She passed away just 3 weeks later.
My mother was not big on hugs, kisses or terms of endearment when my sisters and I were young. She was a single parent in the 60s and she struggled. But she would play this vinyl record and get quite emotional about her three daughters. RIP Mom. I know you loved us in the only way you knew how..
My husband and I will be married 28 years this May 2020, I never realized until hearing this song that he Is the best thing that ever happened to me. He has been by my side through 8 surgeries, took care of me every time I came home from the hospital. And last year I was reunited with my two daughters and he accepted them as his daughters. He loved being a Dad and grandfather to his new grandsons. My mom told me years ago, don't ever let him go. She knew he was the best thing that ever happened to me. I just didn't see it. Now I go. Here's to you my husband Brad you're the best.i love you now and forever, even through Eternity.
