Hamilton Joe Frank & Reynolds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun is shining bright
With you in my heart
Even the rain seems right
The things that you love
Did away with the brown
They lift me up to where I belong
'Cause it takes the best to keep me away
From the rest of the world
Yes it takes the best to keep me away
From the rest of the world
Although that I've been gone
I've loved you all along
And I just can't get you out of my song
Yes I'm singing this song
'Cause I know it won't be long
Till I'll be with you
And feel it like I'm never been gone
'Cause it takes the best to keep me away
From the rest of the world
Yes it takes the best to keep me away
From the rest of the world
And that's you girl
Yes it takes the best oh yes
And that's you girl
Yes it takes the best to keep me away
From the rest of the world
Yes it takes the best to keep me away
From the rest of the world
Yes it takes the best to keep me away
From the rest of the world
Yes it takes the best to keep me away
From the rest of the world
Yes it takes the best to keep me away

Farewell to the night
Goodbye to the darkness
The sun is shining bright
The daylight is here, everything is clear
With you in my heart
Thinking of you makes everything better
Even the rain seems right
Everything seems okay with you by my side
The things that you love
What you love to do brings joy to my life
Did away with the brown
The dullness or sadness is gone
They lift me up to where I belong
It brings me back to a happy place
'Cause it takes the best to keep me away
Only the best can keep me from being with you
From the rest of the world
No matter what's happening in the world, being with you is all that matters
Although that I've been gone
Even though I've been away
I've loved you all along
I've never stopped loving you
And I just can't get you out of my song
You're always on my mind, and I can't stop singing about you
Yes I'm singing this song
This song is all about my love for you
'Cause I know it won't be long

Till I'll be with you
Until I can be by your side again
And feel it like I'm never been gone
It'll be like I never left, because being with you makes everything right

Only the best can keep me from being with you
And that's you girl
You're the one who is the best for me, and who I want to be with

Yes it takes the best to keep me away
Only the person who is the best for me can make me stay away from you
From the rest of the world
Nothing else matters as much as being with you
Yes it takes the best to keep me away
Only someone extraordinary could keep me apart from you
From the rest of the world
Being with you is so important to me that nothing else can compete
Yes it takes the best to keep me away
Only the very best can make me not be with you
From the rest of the world
Nothing else can draw me away from you, my love
