That Was the Best - Chamberlain

July in a thunderstorm and the rain shook that screened-in porch

We were supposed to meet her parents in Duluth

We used the weather that day as an excuse

We just laughed and talked slow while the gutters overflowed

And our hearts did, too, that was the best

Will it ever be that good again?

The word reached me in Denver that day

I knew I could get you back if you would just look in my face

I pulled up, you were standin' in that dress

I guess I’ve always been so easily impressed

We spent three eternal days just the way

That they all oughta be, that was the best

Will it ever be that good again?

My room sat at the back of that old house

Seventeen with a typewriter and a radio

I could never play too loud

Stayin' up chasin' the muse all night

Sneakin' cigarettes by the candlelight

Ten hours of dreams, the sun wakes up

I go to sleep to dream some more, that was the best

Will it ever be that good again?

That was the best

Will it ever be that good again?
