Best Days

Verse One
The river was deep, the water was cold
I was only twelve years old
My dad and me, trout fishing
Waist deep in a Michigan stream

He showed me how to make that fly
Look like it was so alive
And then he helped me understand
How to be a fisher of men

Chorus
And all the world was right
And I felt so full and alive
In the wonder and the light
And I would never be the same
For I knew somehow I had changed
Even now I'd have to say
It was one of my best days

Verse Two
It was like a rock, a lump in my throat
I was eighteen years old
But I had to say something
To the prettiest girl I'd ever seen

A new world record was set that day
For the stupid things I'd say
I made her laugh, It must've been enough
For by day's end we'd fall in love

Chorus
And all the world was right
And I felt so full and alive
In the wonder and the light
And I would never be the same
For I knew somehow I had changed
Even now I'd have to say
It was one of my best days

Verse Three
Sometimes I look to the eastern sky
Wondering what it will be like
When we all finally learn
Of the day You return

What will I feel?
Where will I be?
Will it all seem like a dream?
I think it'll be like a long-lost friend
Coming back to His family again

Chorus
And all the world will be right
And we'll feel so full and alive
In His wonder and His light
And we will never be the same
For I know we all will be changed
And we will surely say
This is the very best of days
This is the very best
The very best of days
