Saving the Best for Last (LP版)

Saving The Best For Last (LP版) - MARC COHN

Got into a cab in New York City

Was an Oriental man behind the wheel

Started talking about heaven like it was real 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

They're saving the best for last

Look around this town and tell me that it ain't so

They must be saving the best for last

Don't ask me how I know 'cause it must be

Saving the best for last for me

Oh saving the best for last for me

But 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

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

'Cause I know they must be saving the best for last

Man I look around this town so don't tell me

That it ain't so

They're just saving the best for last

Don't ask me how I know 'cause it must be

Saving the best for last for me

Oh saving the best for last for me

Oh saving the best for last for me

Oh oh

Oh oh

Oh oh

Oh oh

Oh oh Saving the best

Oh oh Saving the best for last

Saving the best

Saving the best for last
