The Best Is Yet To Come
Elaine Dame 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
A-wait till the warm-up's underway
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet
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
A-wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
A-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 Elaine Dame's song "The Best is Yet to Come," the lyrics describe the excitement and anticipation of a future love. The metaphor of a tree of life is used to imply that the singer has just found something special in their life, such as a lover. The arrival of this person has been a game-changer for the singer and everything seems to be falling into place. Despite this, the singer believes that the best is yet to come; meaning that they believe the future with their lover will be even better than their current situation.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the future holds great things for the singer and their lover. The repetition adds emphasis to the importance of the message. The chorus begins with the idea of the best being yet to come, and then goes on to explain how beautiful the future will be with this person. The mention of "wait till the warm-up's underway" implies that they are currently in the early stages of their relationship and the best is yet to come when they get past the initial stages. The singer mentions waiting until their lips meet; the use of "lips" implies romantic intimacy, which further emphasizes the anticipation and excitement of the singer.
Overall, the song speaks to the importance of having something to look forward to in life. It is a reminder to enjoy the present moment but also to be excited about what the future holds.
