"When I first emerged on the scene as a recording artist, there was no smooth jazz but there was support for my music on R&B and Urban radio and that support has only continued to grow," says Waters, who in recent years has enjoyed considerable airplay on Urban AC radio with his projects like Streetwize and Tha’ Hot Club, which reinvent chart-topping hip hop, R&B and reggae hits with a jazzy twist. For Waters his formula is simple. “I make music for everybody from eight to 80! There are several ingredients that are integral parts of my music mix. There’s got to be a perfect blend of romance and groove and a singable melody that catches the ear.” Kim Waters’ 2004 CD, In the Name of Love, held a spot in the top 25 of Billboard Contemporary Jazz Charts for six months and stayed on that chart for an entire year.
Save the Best for Last
Kim Waters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
You went and saved the best for last
The song "Save the Best for Last" by Kim Waters is a beautiful declaration of love and the unexpected ways it can manifest itself. The opening lines "Sometimes the snow comes down in June, Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon" are a poetic representation of the unpredictable nature of life and how anything can happen at any time. The singer, who had wished for her lover to declare their love for her in a certain way, realizes that love doesn't always come in the way we expect it to.
The lyrics talk about how the singer was always there for her lover even when he was going through tough times with other relationships, and how it all fell into place when they finally came together. The line "Sometimes the very thing you're looking for Is the one thing you can't see" is a profound statement that speaks to the idea that we often overlook what we already have.
The chorus is an uplifting declaration of love and the realization that it was worth the wait: "And now we're standing face to face, Isn't this world a crazy place, Just when I thought our chance had passed, You go and save the best for last." The song is a beautiful reminder that love can surprise us in unexpected ways and that sometimes, the wait is worth it.
