Before there ever came the time that I could realize

That you've meant all the world to me

You turned and I was gone to find the good life I've been missin'

But you were all the good there was in me

I went from bad to worse and back to find the good time

But it took the time like this to make me see

I searched high and low to just to find my reason

But you were all the good there ever was in me

[ steel ]

It's sad to think that much too late I've come to understand

That all the world was laying at my feet

I kicked aside the love that means much more than life just now

And you were all the good there was in me

I went from bad to worse...

Yes you were all the good there ever was in me
