The Best Of Times
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
First performance by: George Hearn & Elizabeth Parrish - 1983



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, 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, 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

La, la, la...
