The Best Is Yet To Come
Chris Cortez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You came along and everything's startin' to hum
Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine?
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry
Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left the ground
Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine
In "The Best Is Yet To Come," Chris Cortez speaks about his anticipation of a better future with his significant other. He opens the song by using a metaphor, describing himself as someone who has picked a plum from the tree of life. This implies that some good fortune has come his way, but he believes that he has just scratched the surface regarding how things can improve. He then turns his attention to his partner, assuming that their relationship improves everything that he touches. He believes the best has yet to come, and things will only get better, and he can't wait to experience it.
The following stanza of the song builds on this idea of anticipation. He highlights the experience of kissing his partner for the first time and how he believes that their relationship will genuinely begin when they do. After that emotional, symbolic experience, he is confident that a multitude of other fantastic things will happen in their life together, such as experiencing a perfect sunshine day. Chris is optimistic that they will share blissful experiences, and the future looks much more bright than the past, especially when they plan to be in each other's lives.
An interesting fact about the song is that it was composed by Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh in 1959. Although the song was first recorded by Tony Bennett in that year, it has been popularized by numerous other artists, including Frank Sinatra and Michael Buble. Additionally, the song has become a staple number in various movies and TV shows, including Mad Men, The Notebook, and The Mask. Another interesting tidbit is that the song's title is an inspirational phrase that people use to encourage one another to look forward to what the future brings, with a sense of hope and positivity.
