You Bring Out The Best In Me

This song is dedicated to my dear departed mum Eileen (Eily). She raised a very large family and did it all with such “style and grace”. I wrote most of the song when she was alive but only got to finish and release it in 2024. It’s a shame she never got to hear it, I think she would have liked it. – Stevie J

Lyric Video


YOU BRING OUT THE BEST IN ME

Stevie J Mayer

When I found myself depressed
In a God forsaken mess
You were a friend to me

I could not put my finger on
What it was or what went wrong
But you accepted me

You never really bought in to
My fragile state of mind
If I was guilty you were blind

I’ll say it time and time again
I couldn’t want a better friend
You bring out the best in me

[ INSTRUMENTAL ]

You never took you only gave
I turned to find my debts erased
Without another word

You knew my needs ahead of time
You held the ladder as I climbed
With a smile upon your face

And every word or move you made
Was done with style and grace

Once a God forsaken mess
But now I know that I’ve been blessed
And that’s enough for me

I’ll say it time and time again
I couldn’t want a better friend

I’ll be there ’til the bitter end
Cause, you bring out the best in me.
