Best Is Yet To Come Lyrics - Count Basie

Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum 

You came along and everything started'in 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 til the warm up's under way 

Wait til our lips have met 

And wait til you see that sunshine day 

You ain't seen nothing 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 til your charms are right for these arms, to surround 

You think you've flown before 

But baby you ain't left the ground 

Wait till you're locked in my embrace 

Wait til I draw you near 

And wait til you see that sunshine place 

Ain't nothing 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
