Love Takes the Best of You
Unveiling Love's Transformative Power
Lyrics
I didn't know your mother
I am not acquainted with your mother
But this is what I have been told
I've heard a narrative about her
That she cried and she cried
She experienced deep sorrow
When she gave you up at three days old
When she relinquished you at three days old
She was from the countryside in Cambodia,
She hailed from the Cambodian countryside
A farmer's wife with too many mouths to feed
A farmer's spouse burdened with many dependents
She wanted you to see a better life
She aspired for you to have a better life
Love takes the best of you, Love takes the best of you
Love has a transformative impact on individuals
Love takes the best of you, Love takes the best of you
Reiteration of the idea that love changes people
Now you don't look like me
We do not share a physical resemblance
And baby we don't look like you
Our appearance differs from yours
But our love is so complete
Despite differences, our love is profound
It don't matter eyes are brown or blue
Physical traits like eye color are inconsequential
There are people in this world
Some individuals won't comprehend our family
Who won't understand this family
We will defend and safeguard you
We'll protect you where we can
Occasionally, you must stand up and enlighten them
Sometimes you'll have to stand and help them see
'Cause love takes the best of you, Love takes the best of you
Reiteration of the idea that love changes people
Love takes the best of you, Love takes the best of you
Every night when I watch you sleep
Every night, when observing your peaceful sleep
I want to watch over you forever
I desire to protect you indefinitely
Keep you safe with me
I want to keep you safe in my presence
And I wish I could promise you a beautiful world
I yearn to assure you a wonderful world
That would never break your heart
One that will never cause you heartbreak
Maybe that's what we are here for
Possibly, that is our purpose in this world
We try and fix what comes apart
We attempt to mend what unravels
Love takes the best of you, Love takes the best of you
Love has a transformative impact on individuals
Love takes the best of you, Love takes the best of you
Reiteration of the idea that love changes people
