Count Basie
The Best Is Yet to Come
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
A-Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet

[Chorus]
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
A-Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
A-Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Come the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine
