The Best Is Yet To Come

The song looks back on a close relationship shaped by shared experiences, learning, laughter, and hardship. The speaker feels deeply connected to the other person and grateful for their past, but the mood is not mainly nostalgic: the repeated promise that “the best is yet to come” expresses hope and excitement about what they may still share.

The “desert plains” suggest a difficult or empty beginning, while teaching each other to sing points to the way the relationship helped both people grow. “Through the wind and rain” is an image for enduring troubles together. Calling the other person part of the speaker suggests emotional closeness, and “keeping me forever young” implies that their bond—and perhaps their shared love of music—helps preserve a lively, youthful spirit.

The lyrics leave the exact nature of the relationship open: it could be romantic, a lasting friendship, or another deep partnership. Lines about not knowing whether they will see the sun add a brief awareness of uncertainty or mortality, but the song answers it with companionship and renewed hope. The claim that “soldiers never die” but “fade away” may suggest that people or memories change rather than disappear completely; the song’s continuing musical spirit offers one way of keeping them alive.
