The Best Of You - A A J Russe

You’ve got a way with words
People seem to understand
People seem to want to know
Both what you’ve said
And what you’ve planned

They’ll put their money in the pot
Reach out and turn the wheel
Then they expect you to let them in
To see the things
I can’t reveal

If I really had to choose the best of you
I’d want to pick a moment when
It was just you and I and no-one else
No pressing need to pretend
But the best of you
Is maybe yet to come

I’d gone away for a while
Following my personal plan
Reaching out for wellness
Knowing that you’d
Understand

And then I saw your face
On the cover of a magazine
And I asked myself
Is that the woman that
She could have been

If I really had to choose the best of you
I’d want to pick a moment when
It was just you and I and no-one else
No pressing need to pretend
But the best of you
Is maybe yet to come
But the best of you
Is surely yet to come

If I really had to choose the best of you
If I really had to choose the best of you
