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
Best is yet to come and babe,
won't that be fine?
You think you've seen the sun,
but you ain't seen it shine
a-Wait till the warm-up's
underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that
sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come and
babe, won't it be fine?
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 baby, you ain't left the ground
a-Wait till you're locked in my
embrace
Wait till I draw you near
a-Wait till you see 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
And you're gonna be mine
