lyrics

Best of Times
Words & Music by Sara Hickman

This the best of times
Some say the worst of times
I guess it all just depends
Which glass you’re drinking from
This is our only chance
To reverse a dance
That was started so long ago

This is the best of times
Look beyond the signs
Don’t let yourself be scared
Don’t let them make you numb
This is the final day
Each and every day
We can return to the love
That we keep running from

I see only beautiful faces
Hands eager to hold

So when I see you down
I want to pick you up
I want to make you laugh
And remind you of the best of times
Living right before your eyes
So, when I see you down
I want to pick you up
I want give you hope
And remind you of the best of times
Oh, we’re living in the best of times

These are the best of times
Yours and mine
We can never forget
How blessed we are
And though the sun may set
When we least expect it to
Remember all the times
Life was so sweet with you
And in the end it will seem
Life rolled by like a dream

So when I see you down
I want to pick you up
I want to make you laugh
And remind you of the best of times
Living right before your eyes
So, when I see you down
I want to pick you up
I want give you hope
And remind you of the best of times
Oh, we’re living in the best of times

These are the daily trials
Yet every once in a while
Clouds all disappear
Making everything else clear
When our emotions grow cold
Tide of winter takes hold
Don’t give in to sorrow so soon
When the spring could arrive by this afternoon!

So when I see you down
I want to pick you up
I want to make you laugh
And remind you of the best of times
Living right before your eyes
So, when I see you down
I want to pick you up
I want give you hope
And remind you of the best of times
Oh, we’re living in the best of times
