Just a small town girl in the city lights

The best was yet to come

Then lonely days turned to endless nights

The best was yet to come



How were you to know

That you would be the lucky one

Ain't it funny how time flies

When the best was yet to come



You can cry yourself to sleep at night

You can't change the things you've done

You had it there then it slipped away

Yeah you left the song unsung



Even through your tears

I never saw you come undone

What's so good about goodbye

When the best was yet to come



I find myself thinkin' about yesterday

When you were here and livin' in a dream

In the moment that it takes

You find you made your first mistake

Like the setting sun...

You turn around it's gone



Just a small time girl who had it made

Or so the story goes

She had it there then it slipped away

Oh - how was she to know



Even through her tears

I never saw her come undone

Ain't it funny how time flies

When the best was yet to come

What's so good about goodbye

When the best was yet to come
