Best Of Times
Styx

[Written by Dennis DeYoung]

Tonight's the night
We'll make history
Honey, you and I
'Cause I'll take any risk
To tie back the hands of time
And stay with you here tonight

I know you feel these are the worst of times
I do believe it's true
When people lock their doors and hide inside
Rumor has it it's the end of Paradise
But I know
If the world just passed us by
Baby, I know
I wouldn't have to cry, no, no

(The best of times)
(Are when I'm alone with you)
(Some rain some shine)
(We'll make this a world for two)

Our memories of yesterday
Will last a lifetime
We'll take the best
Forget the rest
And someday we'll find
These are the best (of times)
These are the best (of times)

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

The headlines read
'These Are The Worst Of Times'
I do believe it's true
I feel so helpless
Like a boat against the tide
I wish the summer wind
Could bring back Paradise
But I know
If the world turned upside down
Baby, I know
You'd always be around, my, my

(The best of times)
(Are when I'm alone with you)
(Some rain some shine)
(We'll make this a world for two)
When I'm alone with you
(The best of times)
Everything's alright
(Are when I'm alone with you)
When I'm alone with you
(Some rain some shine)
You brighten up the night
(We'll make this a world for two)
