The Best
David Lyrics

Like a dollar in my pocket
Just like having money in my pocket, this feeling is constantly burning in my chest

It's burning in my chest
This intense feeling of love and fear is consuming me

I prayed the whole way over here
I have been earnestly and desperately praying on my way here

And I'm still scared to death
Despite my prayers, I am still extremely frightened

I know you don't know me
I understand that we haven't had the chance to truly get to know each other

As well as you'd like to
Not as deeply as you would prefer

So I think we should have a talk
Therefore, I believe it is important for us to have a conversation

Sir, if you've got a few
If you have some time, sir

I don't have much money
I don't possess a large amount of wealth

And I don't have the ring
I don't own an expensive engagement ring

But what I got's a whole lot better
However, what I have to offer is far more valuable

Than all those fancy things
It surpasses the significance of material possessions

I swear to you I'll love her
I promise you that I will love her

Until my dying day
Until the day I take my last breath

I'll give her the best of me
I will give her the absolute best version of myself

If you'll give her away
If you will entrust her to me through marriage

She's your only daughter
She is your sole daughter

And ya'll are thick as thieves
And you two have an incredibly close bond

So maybe there's a chance you know
Perhaps you have an understanding of

How much she feels for me
The depth of her feelings towards me

Sir, I sure hope you will approve
Sir, I sincerely hope that you will give your approval

'Cause I know there's no other man
Because I am fully aware that there isn't another man

She's loved more than you
Who she has loved more than she loves you

I'll give her the best of me
I will give her the absolute best version of myself

If you'll give her away
If you will entrust her to me through marriage
