The Best Thing That Ever Has Happened Lyrics by Alexander Gemignani, Claybourne Elder

Road Show

2009

[HOLLIS]
First, there's cocktails at the Cosden's—
[ADDISON, spoken]
Oh, Jesus...
[HOLLIS]
Hon, we've got fish to fry
[ADDISON, spoken]
Why don't you do this one without me, huh?
[HOLLIS]
Then there's dinner at the Dodge's
The reception at the Roosevelt's—
[ADDISON]
I think I'm gonna die
[HOLLIS]
And every party filled with millionaires
Who want to build the biggest villa
Since the days of ancient Rome
So what do you say
We just stay
Home?
[ADDISON]
You are the best thing that ever has happened to me
You are
Okay then, one of the best things that's happened to me
You are
They say we all find love—
I never bought it
I never thought it
Would happen to me
Who could foresee?
You are the god-damnedest thing that has happened to me
Ever
When did I have this much happiness happen to me?
Never
I can't believe my luck
And all I can do
Is be the best thing that's happened to you
[HOLLIS]
So what do you say
We just stay home?
What do you say we just
Go out on the boat and get smashed
And make love on the beach
And stare up at the moon—?
[ADDISON, spoken]
Holly...
[HOLLIS]
You might just be the best thing that has happened to me
So far
Of course, not much ever really has happened to me
So far
I didn't much like love
I always fought it
I never thought it
Would happen like this
[ADDISON]
Give us a kiss
[HOLLIS & ADDISON]
We may just be the best thing that has happened to us—
[ADDISON]
Kiddo...
[HOLLIS]
Partner...
[HOLLIS & ADDISON]
Another moment like this may not happen to us—
[ADDISON]
Partner...
[HOLLIS]
Lover...
[HOLLIS & ADDISON]
When all is said and done
I have to agree
You are the best thing that's happened to me
[HOLLIS]
Who knew?
[ADDISON]
Who dreamed?
[HOLLIS & ADDISON]
Beats me
