Best I’ve Seen

Don Torres ©1988

I saw you standing there across the room

I hoped you’d see me looking right at you

You looked and waved and gave a little smile

You know you’ve got them beat with all your style

            You’re just about the best I’ve ever seen

            You look just like the one that could have been

            Don’t think you won’t because I know you well

            You know you’re safe because I’d never tell them

            What you mean to me

The others point, you know they laugh and stare

When I’m with you, you know I just don’t care

I’ve known you now, it’s been a long, long time

But I’ve been slow in saying I wish you were mine

            You’re just about the best I’ve ever seen

            You look just like the one that could have been

            Don’t think you won’t because I know you well

            You know you’re safe because I’d never tell them

            What you mean to me

Solo

The things we said, you know we had to say

I still remember just like yesterday

You touched me deeply like nobody could

I almost felt that nobody would

            You’re just about the best I’ve ever seen

            You look just like the one that could have been

            Don’t think you won’t because I know you well

            You know you’re safe because I’d never tell them

            What you mean to me
