Del Reeves - Best Is Yet To Come Lyrics

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
