The Best Thing
Here is a new song from my new album "Dark, Beautiful World." It's called "The Best Thing."
Verse 1: (Light, Sweet, Mid-Tempo Country Pop mixed with R&B; keyboard, drum machines)
You know that I love you, but it's something more than just late night kisses
If I didn't have you, just imagine all of the things that I'd be missing
No more laughing at all of my jokes that I know you don't get
No more holding me tight in the middle of the night when I'm feeling worthless
Don't you know that you're the best thing...
Chorus (Add acoustic and electric guitars, live drums and keyboards overdubbed over each other/wall of sound)
In my life, every day
Everytime you look at me that way
You make me wanna go and buy a ring
Don't you know that you're the best thing
In my life, an angel on Earth
You take away all the pain and hurt
I think about you in every love song I sing
Don't you know you're the best thing
(in my life life, yeah; my life, yeah)
Verse 2:
You’re just so perfect, even though I know you can’t see
Every time you’re near me, I can feel you breathe
I know you think I’m mental, ‘cause you don’t think you’re special the way I do
But I know what I feel, and what is to see you in a white dress soon
Don’t know you’re the best thing…
Chorus:
Bridge:
So please say that you’ll marry me
‘Cause you’re the best thing in my life
(in my life life, yeah; my life, yeah)
Chorus:
(Music fades)

Definitely fits that Country/Pop groove.
The chorus seems particularly strong to me. Really like that lead in with "Don't you know you're the best thing"
In the bridge you could possibly make the first line "So please say you'll be my wife" if you wanted the rhyme.
Nice!

Yes, these words look good for the genre. You have the song mapped out and you're referring to an album, so I'm assuming you have it recorded. If so, I look forward to hearing it.
One word I might change..verse 2 - 'I know you think I’m mental'..I might use 'crazy', or even 'dumb'.
Looks very promising.😀
