I met a man late(?) downtown The rain was softly falling down Over me He said "I believe in Jesus Christ But I still don't know my wrongs and my rights In this lonely life. This lonely life's Not worth living at all Not worth living at all" So I gave him my last cigarette And said I said "This world ain't seen the best of you, yet" I've had my friends and had my foes I've cut some corners and God only knows I've tried my best (I tried my best!) I've loved and lost and paid the cost I faced my fears but still im lost In this lonely night This lonely night When I went home without you Oh I went home without you Then I rang you on the telephone And left a message at the tone I said "This world ain't seen the best of you yet!" I said "This world ain't seen the best of you yet!" When I got home and sat alone The darkness really set the tone Over me I know, I know, it's hard to tell The things I find when I feel like hell In this lonely light This lonely light Is fading without you Always fading without you And so I rang you on the telephone And left a message at the tone I said "This world ain't seen the best of you yet!" I said "This world ain't seen the best of you yet!" I said "This world ain't seen the best of you World ain't seen the best of you World ain't seen the best of you yet!" When the world It brings you down Keep your head up high And your feet on the ground 8x
