Best Days by Wayne Everett

on that day the snow covered Clinton Hill
every footstep was silent; every car was still
we waltzed down the middle of Fulton Street
dancing like fools and singing
that was a great day for us
but ooh-hoo our best days are ahead of us

crawling out the window to our fire escape
we watched those happy squirrels—I could relate
like a flag waving to the future, your eyes unfurled
I saw the simple beauty of our world
and no one could touch us
but ooh-hoo our best days are ahead of us

you shot me in the face once or twice, perhaps
but I probably deserved a few more than that
and I don’t want to seem so frivolous 
but ooh-hoo, our best days are ahead of us

darling, when i see your magical face
I see our city rooftop, our fire escape
every day with you is gracious
let’s make every year beautiful and audacious
I hope you haven’t had enough
cuz ooh-hoo our best years are ahead of us
