John Van Deusen
Any Less Than My Best
[Verse 1]
Every little movement
So suddenly lofty
My stained glass innocence
Shattered in a valley
I cannot turn my head nor pretend
To give any less than my best for him
To give any less than my best for him
[Chorus]
But what if the stars collide?
What if the oceans rise and rise?
What if the money wins?
Where will he rest his head in the end?
[Verse 2]
Every little moment
So suddenly crazy
What once was lucid
Infinitely hazy
I cannot close my mind nor pretend
To give any less than my best for him (any less than my best for him)
To give any less than my best for him (any less than my best for him)
[Chorus]
But what if the stars collide?
What if the oceans rise and rise?
What if the money wins?
Where will he rest his head in the end?
[Bridge]
I’ll clear a path for him
I’ll draw my sword and defend
[Verse 3]
Every little belief increases in meaning
My cardboard fortress in embers still gleaming
I will not close my eyes nor pretend
To give any less than my best for him
To give any less than my best for him
[Outro]
You came and you conquered my heart, now I’m undone
