As Good As It Gets by William W. Thompson, IV

verse 1
Watchin’ the fog roll in off the lake,
Me and my girl gettin’ half-baked.
Wonderin’ what the future will bring,
And my fear was about to take wing.

verse 2
Couldn’t imagine that she wasn’t here,
Opened my eyes and saw the world real clear.
Resisted pullin’ on our love strings,
But who really has control over such things.

chorus
But she was my life and I loved her to death.
I’d get a feelin’ like I’d drawn my last breath,
When she’d hold me and she told me,
This was as good as it gets.


verse 3
She was a mirror reflection of me.
When I was wrong, she was quick to point it out so I’d see.
I sometimes thought I’d had it all figured out,
Until the truth came pourin’ out of her mouth.


verse 4
People would look and hardly recognize me.
But that smile on my face was very easy to see.
This girl had given my life real meaning,
She was the cure that stopped my bleeding.

chorus


bridge
Though we didn’t have it all,
We had all we needed when we were together.
She turned my so, so life into a dream,
That I knew would last forever… and ever, and ever, forever


verse 5
I know it doesn’t matter where we may be.
My heavy heart is gone, she makes me feel so free.
I lost all my sad and uneasy feelings,
My love for her I’m no longer concealin’

verse 6
She accepts me for just what I am.
She don’t care I go through life with no plan.
It’s enough that I want her so badly.
To keep her I’d give up everything very gladly.

chorus

A love song...
