Best ThingStyx

Songwriter: Dennis DeYoung James Young

Producer: John Ryan (Producer) Bill Traut

Your loving seemed to be the best thing
That I ever had
Your loving seemed to be the best thing
That I ever had

Your loving seemed to be the best thing
That I ever had
Your loving seemed to be the best thing
That I ever had

Silk and satin make me wonder
Just who I am
To be with you in times of slumber
Makin' me a man

I haven't known you for a very long time
But it's on my mind what I want to do
A trip to the skies we begin to fly
Oo-oooh

All the riches I have taken
From you every night
Pay you back someday with interest
'cause your loving makes it right
Yeah

Your loving seemed to be the best thing
That I ever had
Your loving seemed to be the best thing
That I ever, ever had
Oh yeah

Best thing
(repeat to fade)

Styx

Styx is a rock band from Chicago formed in 1970. They enjoyed great success with pop rock and hard rock songs, and became famous for their power ballads and album releases of the mid 1970s and early 80s.

The band has gone through some famously nasty internal struggles, drug problems, illnesses and deaths, but continues to perform today (with a significantly altered line-up). Tommy Shaw, from Montgomery, AL, left but returned to the band. Drummer John Panozzo developed a debilitating drinking problem and ultimately died. Dennis DeYoung developed an acute case of photosensitivity, and he left the band. They fought among themselves for control of the band name. Glen Burtnik also left and returned, this time on bass, to replace Chuck Panozzo (John’s brother), who had also left the band. (whew.)
