Better Than Anything

Better than cream cheese and bagels
Better than honey on bread
Better than champagne and pretzels
Better than breakfast in bed
Better than chili rellenos
Better than chocolate éclairs
Better than hothouse tomatoes
Better than fresh Bartlett pears
Better than dining a la carte
Or simply gastronomic art
Better than anything except being in love
Better than making a million
Better than being a queen
Better than oil wells and gold mines
Better than pastures of green
Better than finding a horseshoe
Better than losing your head
Better than anything ever thought of
Better than anything ever said
Better than singing right out loud
Or being spotted in a crowd
Better than anything except being in love
It's better than elephants, elephants dancing
It's better than clowns on parade
Better than peanuts and popcorn
Better than pink lemonade
Better than rides on the midway
Better than seals blowing horns
Better than men shot through cannons
Better than fresh ears of corn
Better than balancing on a wire
Or watching tigers jump through fire
Better than anything except being in love
Better than driving around the park
Or watching fireflies after dark
Better than anything except being in love
