    My wife, the absolute best thing that ever happened to me, passed away on Jan 13th 2021 of ovarian cancer. Due to Covid we had to delay her funeral to a celebration of life on Jan 30th. Well I had never heard the song until the week after she died in my arms. But I was blown away and Ray's song was the exit song for my sweet precious wife's celebration of life event.

    Baby
    It's been a long day, baby
    Things ain't been going my way
    You know I need you here
    To clear my mind
    All the time
    And baby
    The way you move me, it's crazy
    It's like you see right through me
    And make it easier
    You please me, you don't even have to try
    Oh, because
    You are the best thing
    (You're the best thing)
    You are the best thing
    (You're the best thing, baby)
    You are the best thing
    (You're the best thing, ooh)
    Ever happened to me
    Baby
    We've come a long way, baby
    You know, I hope and I pray that you believe me
    When I say this love will never fade away
    Oh, because
    You are the best thing
    (You're the best thing)
    You are the best thing
    (You're the best thing, baby)
    You are the best thing
    (You're the best thing, ooh)
    Ever happened to me
    Both of us have known love before
    To come on up promising like the spring
    To walk on out the door
    Hearts are strong, and our hearts are kind
    Well, let me tell you just exactly what's on my mind
    You are the best thing
    (You're the best thing)
    You are the best thing
    (You're the best thing, baby)
    You are the best thing
    (You're the best thing, ooh)
    Ever happened to me
    You are the best thing
    (You're the best thing)
    You are the best thing
    (You're the best thing, baby)
    You are the best thing
    (You're the best thing, ooh)
    Ever happened to me
    You are the best thing
    (Yeah, yeah)
    You are the best thing
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
    You are the best thing
    (Now, now, now, now, now)
    That ever happened to me

    This song resonates so much with me. I am absolutely madly in love with my husband. And more and more in love every single day. He is the one I talk to and turn to, but our journey hasn’t been perfect. Either way, he is the best thing to ever happen to me, and I need him to trust my love is real. Thank you for writing this. It’s as close to my love experience as any song could get.

I was hung up fr, like no other artist ever existed, Jolene being my favorite, but he could sing anything and I’d listen. What a beautiful soul this man has pure, raw, authentic, and vulnerable. You’ll never grow old to me. ❤
