The best thing

I've seen the world through jaded eyes.
i've heard the silence in the still of the night.
i hid my heart, it broke in two.
oh, i'd be nowhere if it wasn't for you.
i heard your voice, you turned me around.
it's like i'm flying with my feet on the ground.
And you are the best thing that's happened to me.
now i know what i need my life to be.
I felt a cool rain fall on me
and i discovered how it feels to be free.
i lived some days like a dream come true.
i'd give it all for just a moment with you.
i hear your voice, i run to the sound.
it's like i'm flying with my feet on the ground.
And you are the best thing that's happened to me.
now i know what i need my life to be.
you are the one thing that keeps me alive.
whatever happens, i know i'll survive.
And i know (and i know i'll see in eternity)
when all my tears fade away (they will fade away)
(and you will wipe the tears away from my eyes)
i will see (and i know i'll see in eternity)
the best thing i have ever seen (you're the best thing)
(you're the best thing that i've seen)
yeah
