들국화 - the best of time

가사는 힘든 시절에 사랑하는 사람과 함께하는 것이 최고의 순간이라는 메시지를 전달하며, 세상의 고난에도 불구하고 애정과 추억이 오래 남을 것임을 시사한다
작자는 서로의 사랑이 모든 괴로움을 이겨낼 수 있다고 믿고, 결국 이 시간이 가장 좋았다는 것을 깨달을 것이라고 표현한다

Tonight's the night we'll make history, honey, you and I
And I'll take any risk to tie back the hands of time
And stay with you here tonight
I know you feel these are the worst of times
I do believe it's true
When people lock their doors and hide inside
Rumor has it it's the end of Paradise
But I know, if the world just passed us by
Baby I know, you wouldn't have to cry

The best of times are when I'm alone with you
Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We'll take the best, forget the rest
And someday we'll find these are the best of times
These are the best of times

The headlines read 'these are the worst of times'
I do believe it's true
I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide
I wish the summer winds could bring back Paradise
But I know, if the world turned upside down
Baby, I know you'd always be around

The best of times are when I'm alone with you
Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We'll take the best, forget the rest
And someday we'll find these are the best of times
These are the best of times
