Act I: The Best Thing That Ever Has Happened

First, there's cocktails at the Cosden's—

Oh, Jesus...

Hon, we've got fish to fry

Why don't you do this one without me, huh?

Then there's dinner at the Dodge's

The reception at the Roosevelt's—

I think I'm gonna die

And every party filled with millionaires

Who want to build the biggest villa

Since the days of ancient Rome

So what do you say

We just stay

Home?

You are the best thing that ever has happened to me

You are

Okay then, one of the best things that's happened to me

You are

They say we all find love—

I never bought it

I never thought it

Would happen to me

Who could foresee?

You are the god-damnedest thing that has happened to me

Ever

When did I have this much happiness happen to me?

Never

I can't believe my luck

And all I can do

Is be the best thing that's happened to you

So what do you say

We just stay home?

What do you say we just

Go out on the boat and get smashed

And make love on the beach

And stare up at the moon—?

Holly...

You might just be the best thing that has happened to me

So far

Of course, not much ever really has happened to me

So far

I didn't much like love

I always fought it

I never thought it

Would happen like this

Give us a kiss

We may just be the best thing that has happened to us—

Kiddo...

Partner...

Another moment like this may not happen to us—

Partner...

Lover...

When all is said and done

I have to agree

You are the best thing that's happened to me

Who knew?

Who dreamed?

Beats me
