Best of Times
- '83 Single Version
The best of times is now,
What’s left of summer but a faded rose?
The best of times is now,
As for tomorrow, well who knows,
Who knows, who knows?
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!
Now! Not some forgotten yesterday,
Now! Tomorrow is too far away!
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love as hard as you know how,
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!
The best of times is now,
What’s left of summer but a faded rose?
The best of times is now,
As for tomorrow, well who knows,
Who knows, who knows?
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love as hard as you know how,
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!
Now!
( this is the moment we should take )
Not some forgotten yesterday
( yesterday is just a faded memory )
Now!
( dont let this moment go to waste )
Tomorrow is too far away!
( too far, too far away )
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love as hard as you know how,
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!
The best of times is now,
Whats left of summer but a faded rose!
The best of times is now,
As for tomorrow, well who knows,
Who knows, who knows?
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love as long as you know how,
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!
La, la, la, la la la . . .
