The Best Was Yet To Come
Unveiling Tomorrow's Promise: A Small Town's Journey in the City Lights
Lyrics
Just a small town girl in the city lights
Introduces a character, a small-town girl in the city lights.
The best was yet to come
Anticipation of better things in the future.
Then lonely days turned to endless nights
Initial difficult times transform into prolonged challenges.
The best was yet to come
Reiteration of the expectation of a brighter future.
How were you to know
Rhetorical question addressing the unpredictability of life.
That you would be the lucky one
Expresses the element of luck and being fortunate.
Ain't it funny how time flies
Reflection on the swift passage of time.
When the best is yet to come
Time seems to pass quickly when anticipating good things.
You can cry yourself to sleep at night
Emphasizes the emotional struggle during difficult times.
You can't change the things you've done
Regret over past actions that cannot be undone.
You had it there then it slipped away
Reference to a missed opportunity or lost moment.
Yeah you left the song unsung
Expresses a sense of leaving things unfinished or incomplete.
Even through your tears
Recognition of emotional pain, though resilience is evident.
I never saw you come undone
Despite hardships, the person remains strong and composed.
What's so good about goodbye
Raising a question about the perceived positivity of farewells.
When the best was yet to come
Contrasting goodbye with the expectation of a better future.
I find myself thinkin' about yesterday
Nostalgia for a time when the person was living in a dream.
When you were and livin' in a dream
Recollection of a past period of blissful existence.
In the moment that it takes
A momentary lapse leading to the realization of a mistake.
You find you made your first mistake
Acknowledgment of the first misstep or error made.
Like the setting sun...
Metaphorically comparing a mistake to the setting sun.
You turn around it's gone
Symbolizing the fleeting nature of missed opportunities.
Just a small town girl who had it made
Introduction of another small-town girl who seemingly succeeded.
Or so the story goes
Presenting a narrative or a common storyline.
She had it there then it slipped
Similar to line 11, a reference to a missed opportunity.
Oh - how was she to know
The girl, like the first character, was unaware of the impending loss.
Even through her tears
Despite emotional turmoil, she remains resilient.
I never saw her come undone
Reiteration of emotional strength in the face of challenges.
Ain't it funny how time flies
Reflecting on the swift passage of time, echoing line 7.
When the best is yet to come
Similar to line 8, the anticipation of better things in the future.
What's so good about goodbye
Raising a question about the positive aspects of farewells.
When the best was yet to come
Reiteration of the theme that the best was yet to come.
