The Eagles ~ Best of My Love

I first heard the Eagles on a jukebox at an oldies diner. I eventually bought the album The Very Best of Eagles. The Eagle's song "Best of My Love" featured on their third album On the Border was the first out of five number one singles. Formed in the early 70s The Eagles are still making award winning music today.

Best of My Love by The Eagles lyrics

Every night I'm lyin' in bed, holdin' you close in my dreams.
Thinkin' about all the things that we said and comin' apart at the seams.
We try to talk it over, but the words come out to rough.
I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love.

Beautiful faces and loud empty places, look at the way that we live.
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine left us so little to give.
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud that we could never rise above,
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love.

Oh sweet darlin' you get the best of my love.
Oh Sweet darlin' you get the best of my love.
I'm goin' back in time and it's a sweet dream.
It was a quiet night and I would be all right if I could go on sleepin'

But every mornin' I wake up and worry - What's gonna happen today?
You see it your way and I see it mine, but we both see it slippin' away.
You know we always had each other baby. I guess that wasn't enough.
Oh, but here in my heart I give you the best of my love.

Oh sweet darlin' you get the best of my love.
Oh Sweet darlin' you get the best of my love.
Every night and day you get the best of my love.
Oh, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love.
