Lyrics and translation
Original
It's a small town girl in the city lights. The best was yet to come.
Then lonely days turned to endless nights.
The best was yet to come.
How were you to know you would be the lucky one?
And ain't it funny how time flies when the best was yet to come?
You can cry yourself to sleep at night.
You can't change the things you've done.
She had it there, then it slipped away. She left a song inside you.
Even through your tears, never saw you coming down.
What's so good about goodbye when the best is yet to come?
I find myself thinking about yesterday.
You were here, living in a dream.
And the moment that it takes, you finally made your first mistake.
Like the setting sun, you turned around and spoke.
It's a small town girl who had it made.
So the story goes.
She had it there, then it slipped away.
Oh, how was she to know?
Even through your tears, never saw you coming down.
Hey, ain't it funny how time flies when the best is yet to come?
Oh, what's so good about goodbye when the best is yet to come?
