Artist/Band: Hank Locklin
Lyrics for Song: The Best Part of Loving You
Lyrics for Album: Nashville Women [1967]



(Ann Prince)



The best part of loving you is over and done

And the worst part of loving you has only begun.



The best part of loving you while seeing you here

And feeling tender magic each time you were near

The best part of loving you was knowing you were mine

And childishly believing you'd be mine all the mine.



The best part of loving you while seeing you here

And feeling tender magic each time you were near

The best part of loving you was knowing you were mine

And childishly believing you'd be mine all the mine.



The worst part of loving you was seeing you grow cold

And knowing there was someone else you wanted to hold

The worst part of loving you is now under way

I watched you walk into the arms of your new love today.



The best part of loving you while seeing you here

And feeling tender magic each time you were near

The best part of loving you was knowing you were mine

And childishly believing you'd be mine all the mine...
