Song Lyrics

I could be discontent
And chase the rainbows end
I might win much more but lose all that is mine

I could be a lot
But I know I'm not
I'm content just with the riches that you bring

I might shoot to win
And commit the sin
Wanting more than I've already got
I could runaway
But I'd rather stay
In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day
The one that makes me say

'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened
So don't go away

I might be a king
And steal my peoples things
But I don't go for that power crazy way
All that I could rule
I don't check for fools
All that I need is to be left to live my way
So listen what I say

'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened
So don't go away

Listen to what I say

'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened
So don't go away

I could chase around
For nothing to be found
But why look for something that is never there
I may get it wrong sometimes
But I'll come back in style
For I realize your love means more than anything
The song you makes me say

'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened
So don't go away

You're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened
Now don't go, I said don't go, no no don't go away

Paul John Weller
