“…’till the day you’re mine!”
December 22nd, 2008
In March, I wrote about Carolyn Leigh’s legacy and her amazing lyrics — my favorite being “The Best is Yet to Come.” The song is such a favorite of mine that I often wrote it in greeting cards to my husband.
The meaning I invested in the phrase was “It’ll just keep getting better from here, Baby.” But I realized this past week, celebrating Scott’s birthday, that that’s not exactly what the phrase really means…
I ended up crossing it out, and writing “The Best is Already Here.” On many accounts, a lot of the dreams we have together came true, or are coming true. And I didn’t want to keep living my life into the future anymore.
I didn’t want to keep thinking: “Once this happens, then we’ll be happy.” Or “Once that happens, then we’ll have made it.”
The problem with that thinking is that you always end up chasing something that seems just within reach, but never quite get it. And that’s not a life for me, or (and I think he’d agree) for us.
So… I’ll still love the song, but it’s no longer an anthem in our lives.
Anyone have a suggestion for a new theme song?
