The Best Thing Lyrics by Carly Simon

The Best Thing Lyrics

    (carly simon)

    I was his foreigner
    And he was mine.
    We ate on terraces
    And drank the cheapest wine.
    And he believed in me
    Down by the serpentine.
    How was i to know
    It was the best thing
    To come along for a long time.

    I turned the page
    And saw three children with smiles.
    I looked to see
    What i could make of the youngest child.
    And as she blew the candles out
    She turned five.
    How was i to know
    It was the best thing
    To come along for a long time.

    What do the people at the end of the world do
    About time? what about time?
    Their secret sleeps with me.
