THE BEST THINGS
from the musical CAROL (from Dickens)
Copyright © John thomas Oaks and Tommy Oaks, Caliora Music Publishing, ASCAP

CAROL:
HE WAS SO HAPPY
YET HE HAD NOTHING

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST:
NOTHING AS FAR AS THE WORLD WAS CONCERNED
BUT HE NEVER MEASURED
GAINS OR SUCCESSES
BY COUNTING THE MONEY HE EARNED

CAROL:
HE WAS SO KIND
HE WAS THE BEST MAN I KNEW
FATHER, ADMIRER AND FRIEND
WOULDN’T YOU KNOW IT
THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE
ALWAYS COME TO AN END

SHE WAS MY IDOL
BRIGHT AS A SUNRISE
VIBRANT AND BOLD AS THE FIRST BUDS OF SPRING

GHOST:
LOVE WAS HER TRADEMARK
NOTHING COULD STOP HER
OR DAMPEN THE JOY SHE WOULD BRING

CAROL:
SHE WAS A SONG
SHE WAS A GIFT FROM ABOVE
SOMETHING AN ANGEL WOULD SEND
WOULDN’T YOU KNOW IT
THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE
ALWAYS COME TO AN END
