Lyrics for Song: The Best Is Yet To Come
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald
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
Ella Fitzgerald's rendition of 'The Best Is Yet To Come' stands as a testament to her enduring mastery of the Great American Songbook. As one of the most celebrated vocalists in jazz history, Fitzgerald approached this optimistic standard with her signature clarity and impeccable phrasing. The recording captures her ability to transform a hopeful lyric into a timeless declaration of resilience, fitting seamlessly within her vast catalogue of swing and pop interpretations. While the song has been recorded by countless artists, Fitzgerald's delivery remains a definitive version, showcasing her unique capacity to convey warmth and assurance. This performance highlights her status as a pivotal figure in twentieth-century music, bridging the gap between traditional jazz and broader popular appeal through her expressive command of melody and rhythm. |
