Better Than Anything
Composer(s): William Loughbrough - David "Buck" Wheat
Performer(s): Irene Kral
and multiple other artists



Better than sailing at midnight
Better than diving for pearls
Better than skiing at Aspen
Better than feeding the squirrels

Better than finding a horseshoe
Better than losing your head
Better than anything thought of
Better than anything said

Better than singing right out loud
Or being spotted in a crowd
Better than anything
Except being in love!

Better than cream cheese on celery
Better than, mmm, honey on bread
Better than french-fried potatoes
Better than, aah, breakfast in bed

Better than strawberry shortcake
Better than chocolate eclairs
Better than hothouse tomatoes
Better than fresh bartlett pears

Better than dining a la carte
Or sampling gastronomic art
Better than anything
Except being in love!

Better than "April In Paris"
Better than "Memphis In June"
Better than "Autumn In New York"
Better than "Old Avalune"

Better than "Drifting And Dreaming"
Better than "Castles In Spain"
Better than "Smoke Rings" or "Stardust"
Better than "September Rain"

Better than "Dancing In The Dark"
Or "Once More James Around The Park"
Better than anything
Except being in love!
Better than anything
Except being in love!
Better than anything
Except being in love!
