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

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