Barbra Streisand
The Best Thing That Ever Has Happened
[Spoken Intro: Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand]
You dressed yet?
Dressed? Why?
We've got cocktails at the Cosdens'
Oh, geez
We said we'd drop by
Ugh, do we have to
Then, there’s dinner at the Dodges’, the reception at the Rosens'...
Ah! I think I'm gonna die!
So how about we just stay home?
Could we do that? I like your thinking
[Verse 1: Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, both]
You are the best thing that ever has happened to me
You are
Come on...
Okay, then, one of the best things that’s happened to me
You are
To think I'd find someone who could surprise me
And size me up without cutting me down?
Ain't this a town?
Sure is
You are the god-damned'est thing that has happened to me (Language!)
Ever... sorry
When did I have this much happiness happen to me?
Never
I can’t believe my luck
And all I can do
Is be the best thing that’s happened to you
[Chorus 1: Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand]
So whaddya say we just stay home? (So whaddya say we just stay home?)
So whaddya we just go out on the boat and get smashed and make love on the beach and stare up at the moon?
(Whaddya say we just go out on the boat and get smashed and make love on the beach and stare up at the moon?)
[Verse 2: Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, both]
You might just be the best thing that has happened to me
Well, so far
So far?
Of course, not much very good's ever happened to me (Aww)
So far (Me too)
I never much liked love
I always fought it
I never thought it would happen like this
Give us a kiss (Muah!)
We might just be the best thing that has happened to us
Kiddo
Sugar
Another moment like this might not happen to us
Partner
Lover
When all is said and done
You happen to be
The best thing that ever has happened
The luckiest thing that ever has happened
You are the best thing that's happened to me
Who knew?
Who dreamed?
Beats me...
[Spoken Outro: Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand]
So don't get dressed
I was hoping you'd say that
