The Best It’s Ever Been
[Verse 1]
Let's close the door and pull the shades
And listen to the winter rain grow quiet
As it's turning into snow
Share a cigarette and take it easy, take it slow
Let's pull out some records that
We haven't played in much too long
The misty moods would sure sound good again
I almost forgot how much I love you
Let's make it the best it's ever been

[Chorus]
Throw another log on the fire
Don't let the flame die again

[Post-Chorus]
I know we could make it
It's ours so let's take it
Let's make it the best it's ever been
Let's make it the best it's ever been

[Verse 2]
We haven't been as close
To one another as we used to be
Instead of making love, we make believe
Unless we work at keeping love
From leaving, it's gonna leave
But I'll go back to working at it
If you'll help me do it
We found it once I know we can again
Come down on the floor and lie beside me
Let's make it the best it's ever been

[Chorus]
Throw another log on the fire
Don't let the flame die again
