The Best Things In Life Aren't ThingsI turned off my Hi-Def TVfound my wife at her new pcrubbed her shoulders and gently kissed her neckand I slipped her hand in minewe took a moment and went outsideand talked 'neath the night on our old oak deckcos sometimes things we ownbecome our life and homewe must forget that stuffand lose ourselves in lovecos the best things in life aren't thingsthey're stirrings in the heartsometimes they're so easily foundwe forget where they areno, they're not possessionseither great or smallthey've got no shape or priceno...the best things in lifearen't things at allwe stood and looked up at the starsand though they're hung from afarour eyes can touch what our hands can't graspand yet there are things heaven hidesbeyond the reach of touch or sightonly faith and hope can hold them fastO but sometimes welose sight of what we can't seebut when all else fades awayall that remains is faithchorusthough I enjoy what thingsthat money can bringI think of faith and loveand hold them dear becausechorus(c)2005 Robert George
