The Best of Times
The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose!
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well who knows
Who knows, who knows!
So hold this moment fast ( hold it fast )
And live and love as hard as you know how ( you know how )
And make this moment last ( moment last )
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now!
Now! not some forgotten yesterday
Now! tomorrow is too far away!
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now!
The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose!
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well who knows
Who knows, who knows!
Now! ( this is the moment we should take )
Not some forgotten yesterday
( yesterday is just a faded memory )
Now! ( don't let this moment go to waste )
Tomorrow is too far away! ( too far, too far away )
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now!
The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose!
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well who knows
Who knows, who knows!
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now!
