Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me (Live)

[Intro]
Oh, my song
We talkin' about our lives and this says, uh (Yes)

[Verse 1]
I've had my share, mmm, of life's ups and downs
You too (You know it)
But fate's been kind, and the downs have been few
We know that (Mmhmm)
I guess you could say (What?) that I've been lucky
Oh, I guess you could say that it's all because of you

[Verse 2]
If anyone (Oh) should ever write my life story
You gotta be in it too (You know it, baby)
For whatever reason there might be
Ooh, you'll be there (Oh, yes I will) between each line of pain and glory (Ah)
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Ooh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me

[Interlude]
I'm so glad we had that time, and we still do (Right)
So we sing

[Verse 3]
Ooh, there have been times (Yes) when times were hard
Yeah, we had 'em too
But always somehow I made it, I made it through (Yes, you did)
'Cause for every moment that I've spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you, yeah

[Verse 4]
If anyone should ever write my life story, oh
For whatever, whatever reason there might be
Ooh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Ooh, you're the best thing that ever happened to this little girl (Yes)
I know, you're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me
(You better sing, honey)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Get up, woo, your voice
You're the best thing
You know I know that's right
That ever happened to me
Oh, hunty, yes, so
We can do nothing without the people
That have supported us for such a long time
Oh, honey, it's forever, and you know what?
What?
When people meet me, and they say, "Oh, we love you so much"
And they say, "We love Gladys the same," honest to God
Yeah
It's like, so wonderful to hear that
And all of our gay fans, honey, ooh
Yes, yes
Thank you gay people
They keep us pumpin', I mean really
I'm with you, I'm with you
They love us
They people?
Yes, everybody's people
Yeah
And nobody's less
Nobody's less
I love the gay community, yes
Nobody's— I do too
Well, I know you do
I do too, I do too
Oh, gosh
Here's to you, Gladys
Here's to you, Patti
