Marc Cohn Saving The Best For Last Lyrics

Saving The Best For Last Lyrics

Got into a cab in New York City 
Was an Oriental man behind the wheel 
Started talking about heaven 
Like it was real 
Said "They got mansions in heaven 
Yeah the angels are building one for me right now
And I know...

They`re saving the best for last 
Look around this town 
And tell me that it ain`t so 
They`re saving the best for last 
Don`t ask me how I know 
`Cause it must be 
Saving the best for last for me

You can go a hundred miles a second 
Don`t have to drive no lousy cab 
Got everything you want and more man 
And the King picks up the tab 
You walk around on streets of gold all day 
And you never have to listen 
To what these customers say and I know... 

(Chorus) 

I remember when I was a child 
Lost in the streets of Chinatown 
My mother had a vision and I was found 
(Saving the best for last for me) 
Oh-oh -- saving the best for last

And when I finally take this journey
I`m gonna wave goodbye to Earth 
Gonna throw this meter in the ocean 
And prove what I was worth 
And I don`t care who tries to flag me down 
They`re gonna have to find another ride uptown
And I know 
They`re saving the best for last..."
