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
