The Best of Life

from The Beauty of It All by Mary Scholz

/

about

"The Best of Life" was written in August of 2007...just as is described in the lyrics...
"Sand surrounding all that's left of August by the firelight..."
Beyond camping trips on the beach, the song was written to convey the joy that is brought by spending time with the people you love - that these are the best parts of life.

lyrics

We were driving down into the city
Gathering speed and life
Over crossroads, by the railway station
Singing to the night

And as the radio played the street lights swayed
And it seemed they were dancing along
And we laughed out loud at the world around
Cause the city was singing our song

Oh life is better when we get together
Cold or summer nights
We build stories straight into the morning
And that's The Best of Life

We were singing around a blazing fire
Late one Thursday night
Sand surrounding all that's left of August
By the firelight

And as the radio played the campfire swayed
And it seemed it was dancing along
And we laughed out loud at the world around
Cause tonight we were singing our song

Oh life is better when we get together
Cold or summer nights
We build stories straight into the morning
And that's The Best of Life

You can spend your life just hiding in your walls
But the world is here when the stone around you falls
And as far as we can see
I think we can all agree that

Life is better when we get together
Cold or summer nights
We build stories straight into the morning
And that's The Best of Life
That's the Best of Life
That's the Best of Life
