The Best Thing: Lyrics
I've had my share of life's ups and downs
But fate's been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it's all because of you
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Ooo, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Ah, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
'Cause for every moment that I've spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
I know, you're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me
The Best Thing: Info & Success
With lyrics penned by Jim Weatherly, the song “The Best Thing that Ever Happened to Me” was a hit across both the Country or R&B music genres. Ray Price released the song in 1973, and it quickly shot up the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart later that year. Throughout the early to mid-1970s, Gladys Knight & The Pips covered a handful of Jim Weatherly songs, including “The Best Thing that Ever Happened to Me.” The group’s Pop/R&B spin was a success as the song soared to the No. 3 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
