The Best of Times - Styx

Twenty-seven years gone by Ever changing, growing lives All those times when we went round Try and find that common ground Saw me crawling when I fell And help me through those parts of Hell For all those times of ignorance Forgive me for my arrogance Thank you for the times Thank you for allowing me to fly, yeah I couldn't have soared without you You changed my life in the best of times Are still to come my way Humbled yourselves at the thought To be the rock I sat on top For being patient with that dream For being patient when I couldn't be Thank you for the times Thank you for allowing me to fly, yeah I couldn't have soared without you You changed my life in the best of times Are still to come my way The best of times Are still to come my way So many times we never say The simple things we need to say As we close this chapter in our lives I'm proud to say I know you You're the biggest part of my life Thank you for the times Thank you for allowing me to fly, yeah I couldn't have soared without you You changed my life in the best of times Are still to come my way The best of times Are still to come my way Are still to come my way The best of times Are still to come my way

(Red Steagall) I hear they're hiring men in Oklahoma And I've been blessed with two hard working hands I'll take that job till the mill goes back to working And we'll make it through the hard times again. Like the preacher said in church last Sunday morning Oh, the Lord does things we may not understand We both know that he'll take care of his children If we live every day the best we can. And these hard times will be the closest times we've known Let's laugh and dream of better days to come These will be the good old days a little later on And these hard times will be the closest times we've known. You know that heaven smiles on us and gives us all we need We've got so much we should be thankful for Dry your eyes turn out the light let me hold you close That makes these hard times the closest times we've known. And these hard times will be the closest times we've known Let's laugh and dream of better days to come These will be the good old days a little later on And these hard times will be the closest times we've known. Yes, these hard times will be the closest times we've known...
