He's never seen someone so beautiful, that's what he told me.

Never felt this before, until one day he finds he wants something more. Before I could say saving words he had already slammed the door.

[chorus]

Momma said baby time will go on,

Just gotta be strong.

I know that when you loose they take whats best

But you've gotta look past to see

There's one better than the rest.

I don't know why I cried so hard

When in return all I got was a broken heart.

And I gave him every doubt that he'd come around,

But not once did he kneel to the ground.

Looking back I should have seen,

He wasn't really loving me.

[chorus x 2]

Five years have gone by.

No more tears left to cry.

I tucked her in just like before,

But as I closed her door she said

Momma where is my daddy?

I've always wondered this so

I'm four years old now,

Can you please let me know?

And I said baby time will go on,

Just gotta be strong.

I know that when you loose they take whats best of you

But you've gotta look past to see

There's one better than the rest.

Ohh time has gone on, I've been so strong,

He's taken whats best but I've seen,

oh I've seen there's one better than the rest.

ohhh better than the rest.

better than the rest.

I know you're out there

Please be out there

If you're out there,

Please,

be

better than the rest
