That Was the Best

July in a thunderstorm, and the rain shook that screened-in porch
We were supposed to meet her parents in Duluth; we used the weather that day as
an excuse
We just laughed and talked slow while the gutters overflowed and our hearts did,
too
That was the best. Will it ever be that good again? The word reached me in
Denver that day
I knew I could get you back if you would just look in my face
I pulled up. you were standin' in that dress
I guess I’ve always been so easily impressed
We spent three eternal days just the way that they all oughta be
That was the best. Will it ever be that good again?
My room sat at the back of that old house
Seventeen with a typewriter and a radio I could never play too loud
Stayin' up chasin' the Muse all night?. Sneakin' cigarettes by the candlelight.
Ten hours of dreams? the sun wakes up, I go to sleep to dream some more
That was the best. Will it ever be that good again? That was the best
Will it ever be that good again?
