Story behind the song
My first non romantic love song - appealing to my father who had lost a bit of his soul at the time - to look upward to Him and ask to see and live life from a different perspective
Lyrics
The Best That I Can - Kara Shea Copyright 1999
I wish I knew what to say to you - I wish I could end your pain.
I wish with word - or a look - or a sound - I could take away your pain.
But I know not what to say to you - I don't want to make it worse.
When I come to you to talk with you - I just give myself to you.
You may not hear what you think you hear or see what you think you see.
So open your eyes - your sorrowful eyes - and fill them up with hope.
And how could it be that we can be whatever we want to be?
So if you would kindly take a step and give life another look.
And please understand - that I love you
The Best That I Can
(instrumental)
And why should it be that you and me or anyone of us on earth
That we'd be empty without the joy that He has intended for thee.
And please understand - that I love you
The Best That I Can
And how could it be that we can be whatever we want to be?
So if you would kindly take a step and give life another look.
And please understand that I love you
The Best That I Can
And I'll be there..........
