"The Best Things In Life" lyrics

"The Best Things In Life"

I can honestly say I'm doing okay
It feels really good to be me
I might not be rich, but I've got all the goods
That anyone ever would need
But all of that stuff doesn't add up
To what I hold dear in my heart
It's all just stuff to help me get by
It's not the best things in my life

'Cause the best things in life aren't things
They're people and places and memories of faces we love
Little magical moments in time
When everything shines and the angels sing
The best things in life aren't things

The little league park, right before dark
My first home run, clearing the fence
Singing along to a James Taylor song
As Emily Jones and I danced
My brother and I on our cross country drive
Being splashed by the salt of the sea
My first kiss good night in the next morning light
And hearing my sweet brand new baby girl cry

All the best things in life aren't things
They're people and places and memories of faces we love
Little magical moments in time
When everything shines the angels sing
The best things in life aren't things

So when life gets too crazy
Then here's your reminder
To slow down and take some time to remember

The best things in life aren't things
They're people and places and memories of faces we love
Little magical moments in time
When everything shines and the angels sing
The best things in life aren't things
