Lyrics
Jack: ''Just like a leaf that keeps blowing in the wind and, where it happens to fall, no one at all can plan. Just like I kicked around until you showed me where I belong, that’s when my song began.''

''How can I thank you for the love you’ve given me? With all my heart I hope you’ll see what I see.''

''I’ve got the best seat in the house, I’ve got the most beautiful view. You can’t imagine how it feels just sitting here looking at you; I’ve got the best seat in the house.''

''Night after night, I look at you and try to be the best I can be, knowing you’ll see me through. I swear I’ll never take your love for granted, I’d never trade the dreams that you made come true.''

''It’s sweet to know we’re growing closer every year. With all my heart, I hope, you’ll keep this place here.''

''I’ve got the best seat in the house, I’ve got the most beautiful view. You can’t imagine how it feels just sitting here looking at you.''

That’s what I love to do!

''I’ve got the best seat in the house, I’ll tell you I got the most beautiful view. You can’t imagine how it feels just sitting here looking at you; I’ve got the best seat in the house.''

I’ve got the best seat in the house!
