The Best Thing Lyrics
(Carly Simon)I was his foreignerAnd he was mine.We ate on terracesAnd drank the cheapest wine.And he believed in meDown by the serpentine.How was I to knowit was the best thingTo come along for a long time.I turned the pageAnd saw three children with smiles.I looked to seeWhat I could make of the youngest child.And as she blew the candles outShe turned five.How was I to knowIt was the best thingTo come along for a long time.What do the people at the end of the world doAbout time? What about time?Their secret sleeps with me.
