I Did The Best I Could (With What I Had) - Conway Twitty

When I first met you I promised you the world

And it was all because you were my favorite girl

Pretty things like diamond rings and all the things you never had

But I did the best I could with what I had.

I know you won’t need a mansion on the hill

A big fine car a schauffer at the wheel

But time passed on and things went wrong

And all you ever got was sad

But I did the best I could with what I had.

And all I had was all the love in the world for one girl

And the promise to try hard someway to get ahead

But the promises I made I’ve broken and betrayed

But I did the best I could with what I had.

Yes, I did the best I could with what I had…
