Best Is Yet To Come Lyrics - Singles - Del Reeves

The calendar said the 30th day of June 

Sinatra had the nation's No 1 tune 

The Yanks led the American Leauge by a country mile 

And I walked the floor as you gave birth to our first child 

And when I thanked you for our first son 

You just smiled and said the best is yet to come 

I don't guess I've ever seen you cry 

You saved money until my salvary wouldn't get us by 

And it wasn't very long just a couple of years it seemed 

We saved enough money and paid down on a five-room dream 

And when I thanked you for all you had done 

You just smiled and said honey the best is yet to come 

Well just think Tony's away to school honey studying law 

And do you remember Carrie we voted Queen of the prom that fall 

Oh Lord we worked all winter long with Troy and in your mind there's no doubt 

Who was the proudest one who was the proudest when he became an Eagle Scout 

And when I thanked you for all you had done 

You just smiled and said the best is yet to come 

The calendar reads the first day of June 

The paper says man has walked on the Moon 

Now we're sitting here just waitin' alone 

And we realize our lives are almost gone 

So when we thanked our Lord for all he had done 

He just said children the best the best is yet to come
