I stood on the banks of that mighty Mississippi n watched it grow
And I leaned against that leaning tower of Pizza a few years ago
Ive seen that big Hope Diamond
Been close enough to touch the largest pearl
But when Im lyin next to you
Im next to the best thing in the world
They said theres nothin greater
Than to see that great Grand Canyon way out west
And they told us that Yosemite and Yellow Stone were the best
So we took a tour and had some fun
And I sure learned a lot on that trip girl
Right when Im lyin next to you
Im next to the best thing in the world
When Im holdin you and kissin you
It makes me know theres nothing else I wanta do, in my life
When youre touchin me and lovin me
I know that theres no place that I would rather be, but by your side
And when Im lyin next to you
Im next to the best thing in the world
When Im lyin next to you
Im next to the best thing in the world
When Im holdin you and kissin you
It makes me know theres nothing else I wanta do, in my life
When youre touchin me and lovin me
I know that theres no place that I would rather be, but by your side
When Im lyin next to you
Im next to the best thing in the world
Ohhhhh, when Im lyin next to you
Im next to the best thing in the world
