The Best Is Yet To Come Lyrics


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
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
Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
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

The Best Is Yet To Come Song Chart
  • Though popularized by Frank Sinatra in 1964, this Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh-penned song was written for Tony Bennett, who introduced it on his 1962 album, I Left My Heart in San Francisco. Sinatra's version was a collaboration with Count Basie's Orchestra and was arranged by Quincy Jones.
  • This was the last song Frank Sinatra would perform in public. That performance took place on February 25, 1995, the last day of the Frank Sinatra Desert Classic Golf Tournament. Three years later, he would die of a heart attack, and the phrase "The Best Is Yet To Come" would be etched into his gravestone.
  • Michael Buble covered this for his 2007 album, Call Me Irresponsible.
  • James Darren, who recorded this for his 1999 album, This One's From the Heart, sang it with Avery Brooks that same year on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in the episode "Badda-Bing Badda Bang."
  • Tony Bennett's version was the wake-up song for the Apollo 10 crew on May 22, 1969.
