My mum e-mailed me last night telling me she remembered a song I sang while on holiday to the US when I was 10. We were on the way to Yosemite Park, it was snowing and I sang "Sometimes it snows in June.... You save the best for last". But she doesn't know who originally sang the song.
Since it was 16 years ago, I myself don't remember me singing that song nor do I remember who sang it. The obvious thing to do is Google it! And I found the song! Save the Best for Last by Vanessa Williams. Hehe. I read the lyrics and thought "Did I even know what the lyrics meant back then? Did I ever think I would go through that later on in life?". Here I am 16 years later, finally understanding what the song meant and what it feels like to go through it. But the only difference is she got the best for last. Mine stopped at standing face to face. ;P
Save The Best For Last - Vanessa Williams
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
You went and saved the best for last
