I’ve been loved by the Best  (ENIS 2800)  Denny (Bear) Caves  (Don Williamson) 1989

BASIC 2

OPENER

Sides Face Grand Square

Darling if you ever leave me, I'll just put my heart away

I couldn't love again, believe me, no one could please me anyway

Circle to the Left

If another ever came along

Allemande the Corner and Promenade her home

I've been loved by the best, can't settle now for less

I've been loved by the best

FIGURE

Heads Promenade Halfway

Come down the middle, Right & Left Thru

Square Thru and get me 4 hands around and go

With the corner DoSaDo

Swing Thru and then Boys Trade

Swing that corner girl and all Promenade

I've been loved by the best, can't settle now for less

I've been loved by the best

MIDDLE BREAK

Sides Face Grand Square

If you ever get tired of me, I won't look for someone new

Cause looking back on how you loved me, no one could measure up to you

4 Ladies Promenade, go once inside the set

Get back, Swing and Promenade like that

I've been loved by the best, can't settle now for less

I've been loved by the best

CLOSER

Circle Left

When I look into your eyes I know

You're the only love I'll ever know

Allemande the Corner girl, DoSaDo your own

Allemande the Corner girl and Weave that Ring go

I've been loved by the best, with you I have been blessed

You Swing and Promenade

Baby I've been to the top, I guess, with you I have been blessed

I've been loved by the best

ORIGINAL LYRICS

Darling, if you ever leave me
Well, I'll just put my heart away
I couldn't love again, believe me
No one could please me anyway
And if another ever came along
I'd just turn them down 'cause after all

 

I've been loved by the best
I can't settle now for less
Why bother with the rest
Baby, I've been to the top, I guess
With you I have been blessed
I won't take nothin' less
I've been loved by the best

 

If you ever get tired of me
Well, I won't look for someone new
'Cause looking back on how you loved me
No one could measure up to you
And if they try to win this heart of mine
I just have to say, a waste if time

 

I've been loved by the best
I can't settle now for less
Why bother with the rest
Baby, I've been to the top, I guess
With you I have been blessed
I won't take nothin' less
I've been loved by the best

 

When I look into your eyes I know
You're the only love I ever want
'Cause, after you and me baby, I can see
Nothin' else could be even close

 

I've been loved by the best
I can't settle now for less
Why bother with the rest
Baby, I've been to the top I guess
With you I have been blessed
I won't take nothin less
I've been loved by the best
