The Best Of Times

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Albin:

This is a little song,

Nostalgic and unique-eh!

I learned to sing this song before I learned to speak-eh!

I learned to sing this song

Upon my mother's knee,

And she learned to sing this song

Upon her mother's knee,

And her mother learned this song

Upon her mother's knee,

And if your mother sang that little song to you,

Then sing along with me.

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.

Albin, Jacqueline:

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,

Albin:

Is now,

Angelique:

Is now, is now is now, is now.

Albin, Jacqueline:

Now!

Tabarro:

Now!

Albin, Jacqueline:

Not some forgotten yesterday

M. Renaud, Waiters:

So hold this moment fast,

And live and love

As hard as you know how.

Female Singers:

And make this moment last,

Because the best of times is now,

Is now, is now

All:

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.

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

Is now, is NOW!
