Lyrics My Favourite - Peter Hammill

My Favourite

In my time I’ve told a lie or two
I’ve been a deceiver, but believe me
What I now say is true
There’s no other way
I can express what I’m thinking of:
You’re my favourite
You’re the one that I love
It’s a one-horse race
Still I’m ready to place my bet
I’m a pretty slow starter
And I haven’t quite caught up with it yet
It seems so extraordinary
That you should care for me
You’re my favourite —
How lucky can any man be?
You’re my favourite —
Will you stay the course with me?
You’re my favourite of all time
You’re my favourite, can’t you see?
You’re my favourite of all time
Say you’ll stay the course with me
