With tender hands you gathered up the pieces of my life
Lying in your loving arms never felt so right
The hard luck road behind me
Is reflected in your eyes
And the glory of the bright lights
Can't compare to this feeling when you smile

Chorus:
You're the good things I threw away
Coming back to me every day
You're the best it could ever be
You are what love means to me

I've been around and seen it all from the bottom to the top
And honey I can tell you now, I'm thankful for what I've got
These prison walls inside me
Never set this poor soul free
Till the power of your true love
Broke them down just in time to rescue me

Chorus:
You're the song I could never write
You're the magic in my heart tonight
When the morning sun comes shining through
I'll still be holding you
You're the good things I threw away
Coming back to me every day
You're the best it could ever be
You are what love means to me

You're the best it could ever be
You are what love means to me
