( The )
Best of Times
~
1983 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!
