Shirley Horn - The Best Is Yet to Come Lyrics

Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything's startin' 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 'til the warm-up's underway
Wait 'til our lips have met
Wait 'til 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 you're mine
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

Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground
Wait 'til you're locked in my embrace
Wait 'til I draw you near
Wait 'til you've seen that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' 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?
