Bill Anderson - Why'd The Last Time Have To Be The Best lyrics

As I lay here by my woman

I know I'm back where I belong again

I can't help but think about you

Though and all the things that might've been.

But we used commonsense to work it out

We quit before the word got out

We hurt each other stead of hurtin' all the rest

But why'd the last time have to be the best?

Why'd the last time have to be the time

The time we made our poem rhyme

You were perfect, no more, no less

Lord, why'd the last time have to be the best?

Today I passed our old meetin' place

You know it's not hittin' like we used to think it was

I guess we were just blinded by

Passion runnin' with the burnin' love.

But we used commonsense to work it out

We quit before the word got out

We hurt each other stead of hurtin' all the rest

But why'd the last time have to be the best?

I guess I'll always wonder why

The last time had to be the best...
