The Best Is Yet To Come - Shirley Horn

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

You came along and everything starting 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, ain’t nothing like it yet

The best is yet to come, and babe won’t it be fine?

The best is yet to come, come the day your mine

Come the day your mine

I’m gonna teach you to fly, we’ve only tasted the wine

We’re gonna drink that cup dry

Wait till your charms are ripe 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’ve seen that sunshine place, ain’t nothing 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, come the day you’re mine

The best is yet to come, and babe won’t it be fine?
