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
The lyrics of Michael Andrew & Swingerhead's song "The Best is Yet To Come" speaks about the promise of a better future, the excitement of new experiences and the eagerness to explore what life has to offer. The singer metaphorically describes his feelings using symbols of nature, saying that he has picked a plum from the tree of life, meaning that he has made the most of what life has to offer, but he recognizes that meeting this person has made everything hum in his life. However, he believes that the best is yet to come, and the future holds more joy and happiness. He highlights this anticipation through romantic and intimate images, expressing that their upcoming experiences will be far better than anything they have ever experienced before. He promises to teach her to fly, to embrace her, to give her the best romantic experiences, and to make her his.
The song reflects the confidence and optimism of people when they fall in love. They feel that they have achieved everything and have the world at their feet. The lyrics suggest that the singer is already happy, but he is looking forward to greater happiness in the future. The song is about not being satisfied with the present because there is always more to come. The song's theme mirrors the idea of the American Dream, where people strive for excellence through hard work and make something of themselves regardless of their background. The singer is exuberant and knows that things will only get better in the future.

This is the first time she sang publicly after losing her voice. It’s monumental.

I genuinely would not have known. Very careful choice of material, plus the great professionalism (of both of them).
(I did wonder if his arms might be getting tired though! Not that she's heavy - she's very trim; but they're both not as young as they once were!)

she may lost her high note but still, her voice is great

Julie Andrews and Michael Crawford have the most perfect chemistry. I wish I could give this video infinity likes / thumbs up.
P.s. Thank you for providing a lovely description/context. I loved reading it.

Julie Andrews has great chemistry with anyone she's acting with. She had great chemistry with Kermit the Frog when she sang "When You Were a Tadpole" to him. She is truly magical.

Julie is awesome…loved her since I was a child. Darling Lili is my favorite. She was wonderful in that movie. My parents took me to see it when I was 6 years old. Although, I couldn’t understand a lot of the movie….it was Julie’s singing that I wanted to here and she was wonderful. I’m so glad she’s doing well. I still think that her voice will come back eventually….I really do.
