The Best is Here

about

Written on a visit to a music store, playing a 1975 Gibson Hummingbird.
Didn't buy it, it was $3,400, but I got it for a song.

lyrics

The Best is Here
Words and Music by Michael Silverstone
©2015 Mr. Silverstone Music/ASCAP 4-20-15

To tie your heart in an unbound promise
brings a free man to the earth
and to love this life
In all its sorrows
is the price that the best is worth

And I suppose
that the best is here
though no one knows
til it disappears

I gave away what I most wanted
'Cause I couldn’t stand the fear
but in my fall I felt undefeated
with a chorus in my ears

And I supposed
that the best was near
though no one knows
when it’s all right here

If at last you find yourself
as ever best you can
it’s enough to hold it in your hands

[inst.]

I supposed
that the best was near
though no one knows
when it’s all right here

I never knew
that it could come so easy
or would fit like a second skin
and I never thought that I would
be done waiting
for the good times to begin

I suppose
that the best is here
and now I know it won’t disappear

Can’t help myself from still believing
that I’m not the only one
I watch the waves
as the boats are leaving
and they sparkle in the sun

And I suppose
that the best is here
and now I know it won’t disappear
