The Best of Times Lyrics by Jerry Herman

La Cage Aux Folles (Original Cast Recording)

0

(verse)
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, is now, is now
Now, not some forgotten yesterday
(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, 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
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, is now, is now
