Retirement represents for many people a closure of the life chapter, perceived transition from an active employment stage to the passive stage of the physical, emotional, and psychological decline. That is definitely a false perception as the retirement for many becomes a real time for the dream fulfillment, freedom to pursue the delayed before due to the busy life interests and activities. Practically, you may consider this life stage of numerous opportunities. But, the transition might be challenging nevertheless, and the responsibility to restructure the life canvas still remains the personal responsibility.
Yes, the best is yet to come!
The expression “the best is yet to come” means that all the events occurring in your life right now will eventually be surpassed by better events in the future. The best is not yet here, but it will arrive at some point in the future.
"The Best Is Yet to Come" is a 1959 song
composed by Cy Coleman to lyrics by Carolyn Leigh. It is associated with Frank
Sinatra, who recorded it on his 1964 album It Might as Well Be Swing
accompanied by Count Basie under the direction of Quincy Jones. It was the last
song Sinatra sang in public, on February 25, 1995, and the words "The Best
is Yet to Come" are etched on Sinatra's tombstone. Although Sinatra made
it popular, the song was written for and introduced by Tony Bennett.
The song was played as a wake-up call for the crew of
Apollo 10 on May 22, 1969. The historic day marked the first time that the
Lunar Module flew solo in lunar orbit as it made man's closest approach to the
lunar surface to date
Lyrics
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything's startin' to hum
Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine?
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
Wait 'til the warm-up's underway
Wait 'til our lips have met
And wait 'til you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry
Wait 'til your charms are right for these arms to
surround
You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left
the ground
Wait 'til you're locked in my embrace
Wait 'til I draw you near
Wait 'til you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine
Songwriters: Cy Coleman / Carolyn Leigh
