Blaine Larsen - The Best Man lyrics

rate me

My mama got married to someone I barely knew

They had me and then they had my sister too

I was too young to understand why he left

But how it broke Mama's heart, I'll never forget

It was three years before she met somebody new

And though I didn't have much to compare him to

He was the best man my mama ever loved

Not the kind that walks away, but the kind that don't give up

Devoted and true, someone to look up to

Even a boy of eight could understand

He was the best man

He called me his son and I called him my dad

He was like no friend that I had ever had

He taught me how to drive a nail and build a go-cart

And how to love a woman with all of my heart

And one night we watched him get down on one knee

And ask Mama to be his wife, then he asked me

To be the best man, and I stood by his side

As he lifted the veil of that beautiful bride

He said "I do", then she did too

And she walked back down the aisle holding hands

With the best man

He said "I do", and then she did too

And she walked back down the aisle holding hands

With the best man

Dad, you're still the best man
