Just another song about a pretty girl by me and Greg Allen, one of my NSAI buddies. Enjoy. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/best-thing-in-your-life The Best Thing In Your Life By Greg Allen and David Snyder Chorus 1 What do you think that life would be without her? Is there a word more beautiful than bride? The girl who’s always been, there through thick and thin, And the woman who’s the best thing in your life V1 Did she raise your little babies? Did she send them off to school? Did she tuck you into bed when you stumbled in, like a drunken fool? Did she still call you Darling, all those nights that you were wrong? Did she hold you close, when she danced, to your favorite song? Chorus 1 What do you think that life would be without her? Is there a word more beautiful than bride? The girl who’s always been, there through thick and thin, And the woman who’s the best thing in your life. V2 Remember when you met her, she was young and she was free Walking through that screen door, sweet as summer breeze Remember when she kissed you, in her mama’s living room And how you went and married her in the second week of June CH2 What do you think that life would be without her? when it takes the love of a woman to survive Cause the girl’s who’s always been There through thick and thin Is still the best reason you’re alive Bridge You’ve done one thing right, boy, and you know just what I mean When you saw her smile, walking down that aisle, and she took your wedding ring.

I think you could tighten up the end of the chorus...it seems like it leaves you with no clear melodic direction. Overall, I enjoyed it and it did make me a little misty-eyed.

(as opposed to a pretty good girl song) Your vocals are always so "convincing". Nice use of the oohs and aahs... Nice job by the 2 of ya... (at first I read that as Greg Allman and thought... "Cool!!") fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Like the song before this one (All about the kiss). I also liked the used backgrounds, vocals and violins, in the composition. One small thing: By the end of the song, it looks like it's dimming for a fraction of a second. Couldn't make up if it was meant to be or not. My bet is you did that on purpose...

Love the backing harmonies, and found your lead vocals to be strong and memorable. Really lush production really took this to the next level for me. The strings that build in the second verse are stunning. A really solid write - thanks so much for sharing Cheers, Deryk

I love the sentiment expressed in the lyrics and the crafting of melody and arrangement is really well done, too. As always, your vocals ring true with sincerity and honesty and deliver the song with flair. You and Greg have done a great job. I really enjoyed this. All the best, Noel MY SONGS...

Could've been a track on New Morning (Dylan) (I love that album) glad to hear a new song posted by you (floyd's like a mafia boss, we can't get out) Just kidding of course, boss beautiful and inspired words about a woman who should be praised, it's a good way to go a graceful delivery Kenny
