Simon, Carly - The Best Thing Lyrics
I was his foreigner
And he was mine.
We ate on terraces
And drank the cheapest wine.
And he believed in me
How was I to know
it was the best thing
To come along for a long time.
I turned the page
And saw three children with smiles.
I looked to see
What I could make of the youngest child.
And as she blew the candles out
She turned five.
It was the best thing
To come along for a long time.
What do the people at the end of the world do
About time? What about time?
Their secret sleeps with me.

Simon, Carly The Best Thing Comments
This and "Another Door" are kinda spooky. Second album has haunting stuff, too. She's got a spooky streak, no doubt. Love it, Carly!
Great song.
I love this song - it's beautiful :-)
This is actually my favorite Carly Simon song, the steel ride in this song is mesmerizing!
Thank you Carlie for giving my heart a Voice. ♡
