This timeless Eagles love song from the 1970s never gets old. Written and released in 1974, the song is a classic that has stood the test of time. Below is a live video of the boys doing this song in 1977. Three acoustic guitars upfront, perfect harmonies and Randy Meisner on the Bass, pure heaven!
The Best of My Love
The Eagles
Every night I’m lyin’ in bed, holdin’ you close in my dreams
Thinkin’ about all the things that we said, comin’ apart at the seams
We try to talk it over, but the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin’ to give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces and loud empty places, look at the way that we live
Wastin’ our time on cheap talk and wine, left us so little to give
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart, I give you the best of my love
Oh oh oh oh… sweet darlin’
You get the best of my love (you get the best of my love)
Oh oh oh oh… sweet darlin’
You get the best of my love (you get the best of my love)
I’m goin’ back in time and it’s a sweet dream
It was a quiet night and I would be all right
If I could go on sleeping
But every mornin’ I wake up and worry, what’s gonna happen today?
You see it your way I see it mine, but we both see it slippin’ away
You know we always had each other baby
I guess that wasn’t enough, oh
But here in my heart, I give you the best of my love
Oh oh oh oh… sweet darlin’
You get the best of my love
Oh oh oh oh… sweet darlin’
You get the best of my love
Oh oh oh oh… sweet darlin’
You get the best of my love
Oh oh oh oh… sweet darlin’
You get the best of my love
(The best of my love…) every night and day (you get the best of my love)
(The best of my love…) you got it, you got it
The best of my love…
