Lyrics

Jimmy turned eighteen on graduation day / He was ready to move on, go his own way / His Momma called from her cell phone , said come outside and see / Daddy waited at the door and handed him the key / He opened up that Chevy door, climbed behind the wheel / Daddy said, son what you think, tell us how it feels / He said, Dad is this for real / / This is the best day of my life and I can't believe it's true / I've been waiting for this moment to start my life anew / Momma you don't have to cry now 'cause this is not the end / but sometimes we must let go of what's been for something new to begin / / She looked so beautiful coming down the aisle / Jimmy took her by the hand and gave her a smile / She said Jimmy this is it, are you all in / 'cause once we say those words we can't go back again / Jimmy looked into her eyes so everyone could see / he said Baby don't you know I'm where I want to be / from now on it's you and me / / This is the best day of my life and I can't believe it's true / I've been waiting for this moment to start my life with you / Honey you don't have to worry 'cause I ain't going back again / Sometimes we must let go of what's been for something new to begin. / / Fifty-two years later in room four in I.C.U. / with his family gathered round him for a final prayer or two / When the Spirit came upon him and he sat up in his bed / these were the last words Jimmy said / / This is the best day of my life and I can't believe it's true / I can hear the angels singing and heaven's in my view / Whoa you don't have to cry now 'cause this is not the end / Sometimes we must let go of what's been for something new to begin Words and Music by Mylon Avery 2009 BMI
