The Best Is Yet To Come

Tony Bennett

Words by Carolyn Leigh and Music by Cy Coleman



- Apparently not charted by anyone but still a fine song



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



Come the day you're mine, I'm gonna teach you to fly

We're gonna taste of 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



SPOKEN: "Ho, ho"

Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum

You came along



and everything started to hum
