Gladys Knight – Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me lyrics
The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me
Gladys Knight & The Pips
Written by Jim Weatherly
- entered the Billboard Top 40 the week of March 9, 1974 and
stayed for 13 weeks, peaking at #3 the week of April 27, 1974
- soul cover version of Ray Price's #83 country ballad from 1973
- a version by The Persuaders, released March 2, 1974, reached #85
I've had my share of life's ups and downs
But fate's been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it's all because of you
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Ooo, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Ah, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
'Cause for every moment that I've spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
I know, you're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me
