Topic: The Best of Times

I just returned from a business trip and had the good fortune to spend most of today with my wife. I hadn’t written anything in a while so this song seemed appropriate. I hope you all like it.

The Best of Times By Jeff Gilpin


September 15th, 2007




Intro


[G] [D] [G] [D] [A] [A7]






Verse 1


[D]Pretty day


[E]Starting right


[G]Waking up with [A]you


[D]Wash my face


[E]Brush my teeth


[G]I’m ready in a [D]few


Coming [G]down stairs I [A]see that you’re


[D]Reading the morning [G]news


So I [G]pour a cup, sit [A]down and smile


[G]Glad I didn’t [A]hit the [D]snooze






Verse 2


So [D]off we go


On to [E]something


[G]Whatever’s planned for the [A]day


It could be [D]cleaning up


Or [E]sightseeing


[G]Either is o[D]kay



I [G]get to spend the [A]day with you


[D]Sneaking a peak when I [G]can


So [G]whatever it is you [A]have in store


I’ll [G]take it [A]like a [D]man






Bridge


But [G]sometimes I have to [D]go away


Those [G]times that are few and far be[D]tween


I [G]get through all those [D]trips okay


Because I [A]know what coming home [A7]means






Verse 3


It means [D]cleaning up


[E]Honey dos


Or [G]fixing stuff that’s in [A]need


Or [D]maybe we’ll


[E]Go some where


For a [G]coffee and something to [D]read


[G]Both will be al[A]right with me


What[D]ever we do will be [G]fine


Just [G]so long as [A]I’m with you


It’ll [G]be the [A]best of [G]times [A] [D]

Hi Jeff - There is nothing as marvelous as domestic bliss!
Hadn't seen you on the forum lately and was wondering if all was well - seems like life is dandy, if this song is any indication.  This one pretty much sums up the marvelous mundaness of married life . . . love it.  James

Hey James - I was just away on a business trip and decided on leaving the laptop at home so as not to have to carry so much. I wish I had taken my guitar though. I'm glad you liked the song. I'm still spoiled and it's great to be back home with the old ball and chain. smile I need to catch up on all the new song postings. There seems to have been a flood of them since I've been away.
