Just a small town girl in the city lights,
The best was yet to come,
Then lonely days turned in endless nights,
The best was yet to come.
How were you to know
That you would be the lucky one?
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come.
You can cry yourself to sleep at night,
But you can't change the things you've done,
You had it there, then it slipped away,
You left the song unsung.
Even through your tears
I never saw you come undone.
What's so good about good-bye
When the best was yet to come.
I find myself thinkin'about yesterday
When you were here and livin' in a dream,
In a moment that it takes
You find you made your first mistake,
Like the settin' sun ...
You turn around, it's gone.
Just a small town girl who had it made
Or so the story goes.
She had it there, but it slipped away,
Oh, how was she to know.
Even through her tears
I never saw her come undone.
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come.
What's so good about good-bye
When the best was yet to come.
