"The Best Is Yet To Come" lyrics

"The Best Is Yet To Come"
(originally by Jesse Belvin with Marty Paich and His Orchestra)

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

The 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?
The 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 ripe for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but 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
And there's 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

The best is yet to come
