Don Hillman - The Best Years Lyrics

Well, I know it's almost Christmas
'Cause the silky oak is bloomin' gold again
And I'm losin' my resistance
To the ocean callin' me back home again
No, I'd never after this time
Have believed the wonder still could be within
As I'm standin' on the shoreline
And a song comes singin' to me in the wind

These are the best years
The you'd-never-have-guessed years
Even better than the ones before
The times you thought you'd never see again

These are the best years
The you'd-never-have-guessed years
Even better than the ones before
The times you thought you'd never see again

Bein' out there on the ocean
Well, you feel just like the earth and you are one
You can ride the crystal waves in
'Til the last seagull comes flyin' to the sun
'Til the Southern Cross comes shinin'
'Til the pastel sunset fades to summer black
And your whole life's redefinin'
As another day comes dawnin' out the back

These are the best years
The you'd-never-have-guessed years
Even better than the ones before
The times you thought you'd never see again

These are the best years
The you'd-never-have-guessed years
Even better than the ones before
The times you thought you'd never see again

These are the best years
The you'd-never-have-guessed years
Even better than the ones before
The times you thought you'd never see again

These are the best years
The you'd-never-have-guessed years
Even better than the ones before
The times you thought you'd never see again

Yeah, yeah, yeah
These are the best years
