The Best Is Yet To Come
Kent Stacey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything started to hum
Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come

The best is yet to come, and babe, won't it 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

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
The best is yet to come, 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 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.
