lyrics

THE BEST FOR YOU
(c) 1994, John de Jong. All rights reserved.

Don't want to see you trying to love
when you're hurting inside
Don't want to see you walking away
with anger burning in your eyes.
Don't want you singing those sad sad songs
Like some lovers do -
I want the best for you - I want the best

Don't want to think of you hiding away
with your broken plans,
or in the corner of some sad cafe
with your head in your hands
Don't want you walking home on your own
to some empty room
I want the best for you - I want the best

I want to see you walking away with the prize
I want to see those tears of joy in your eyes
I want the best for you - I want the best

So many people live their lives with something missing
A summer's day without the sun
Dreaming of golden things that life will bring tomorrow
tomorrow never comes

Don't want to see you walking the streets
like you've no place to go
don't want to see you dead on your feet
gaining the world to lose your soul.
I want to see you making it through
all your dreams coming true
I want the best for you - I want the best

I've always been passionate about the acoustic guitar, but in recent recent years my tastes have expanded somewhat. The Rock Mass is evidence of this. Hope you enjoy the music! ... more
