I Still Wish the Very Best for You
Wishing Well of Love: Anne Murray's Heartfelt Desire for Your Happiness
Lyrics
Well you know I'm really bad at writing letters
Expressing difficulty in writing letters
You know I'm not much better with the phone
Acknowledging challenges with communication via phone
Day after day goes by and I still think of you
Reflecting on the passage of time and persistent thoughts of the person
'Cause I still wish the very best for you
Expressing a genuine desire for the best outcomes for the person
Well I've been hearing that you've got a baby
Awareness of the person's new relationship and happiness with a baby
And that you're happy with somebody new
Acknowledging the person's contentment with someone else
You an I both know sometimes
Recognizing the uncertainty of relationships and their outcomes
These things don't work out right
Emphasizing that sometimes things don't go as planned
I want you to know
Expressing a sincere wish for the person's well-being
That I still wish the very best for you
Reiterating the desire for the best outcomes despite the separation
So don't you think because we're not together
Clarifying that separation doesn't diminish the wish for the person's happiness
That I won't wish the very best for you
Stating a continued wish for the person's best despite being apart
Even though your love shines on some other
Acknowledging the presence of love in the person's life with someone else
Baby I want you to know
Reaffirming the desire for the person to know about the continued best wishes
That I still wish the very best for you
Restating the wish for the person's very best
So love and be loved by another
Encouraging the person to love and be loved by another
You don't have to feel we're going to lose
Assuring the person that there is no fear of losing
You are free to roam and rediscover
Granting freedom to explore and find someone who shares similar values
Someone who will share your ways with you
Encouraging the person to rediscover a compatible partner
