Blurb:
"Save the Best for Last" is a song written by Phil Galdston, Wendy Waldman and Jon Lind. It is considered Vanessa Williams' signature song. The song uses inverted and rearranged pop song clichés (such as "moon"/"June") to illustrate its tale of lost love regained. The lyrics' redemptive themes resonated with Williams' story, as she had put together a successful recording career following her earlier Miss America resignation scandal.
The song is sometimes played in conjunction with R. Kelly's 1996 hit "I Believe I Can Fly" at high school graduations and other special events, such as sports championships: For example, the Toronto Blue Jays played the song following their 1992 World Series triumph; the Atlanta Braves followed suit three years later; and the San Antonio Spurs played it while celebrating their first-ever NBA title.

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
Cause there was a time when all I did was wish,
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought a chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes of everything you're looking for
It's the one thing you can't see
But now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought a chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
Sometimes of everything you're looking for
It's the one thing you can't see
----INSTRUMENTAL----
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought a chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
You went and saved the best for last
