Bill Anderson Lyrics for Song: Why'd the Last Time Have to Be the Best
 Lyrics for Album: Peanuts and Diamonds and Other Jewels [MCA] [1976]
 
 
 
 10705>(Red Williams)
 
 
 
 As I lay here by my woman
 
 I know I'm back where I belong again
 
 I can't help but think about you
 
 Though and all the things that might've been.
 
 
 
 But we used commonsense to work it out
 
 We quit before the word got out
 
 We hurt each other stead of hurtin' all the rest
 
 But why'd the last time have to be the best?
 
 
 
 Why'd the last time have to be the time
 
 The time we made our poem rhyme
 
 You were perfect, no more, no less
 
 Lord, why'd the last time have to be the best?
 
 
 
 Today I passed our old meetin' place
 
 You know it's not hittin' like we used to think it was
 
 I guess we were just blinded by
 
 Passion runnin' with the burnin' love.
 
 
 
 But we used commonsense to work it out
 
 We quit before the word got out
 
 We hurt each other stead of hurtin' all the rest
 
 But why'd the last time have to be the best?
 
 
 
 I guess I'll always wonder why
 
 The last time had to be the best...
