My Best Days

Posted on March 4, 2010October 27, 2015 By Doriano No Comments on My Best Days

I always liked Danny Gokey from American Idol season 8 where he finished 3rd which was very good. I was very happy to see/hear his new song called “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me” which he performed tonight on American Idol.

It’s such a personal song for him because he feels as if his best days are in front of him, not behind him in his American Idol 15 minutes of fame. He’s grateful to the show (which is refreshing to see for a change from former contestants) because he said it helped him deal with the tragic loss of his wife who passed away very young. In an eerie twist of fate, Danny learned after recording this song that touched him deeply that the songwriter had also lost his wife.

Here’s a live acoustic performance of the song followed by the recorded version and the inspirational lyrics.

MY BEST DAYS ARE AHEAD OF ME

Blowing out the candles
on another birthday cake
Old enough to look back and laugh at my mistakes
Young enough to look at the future and like what I see
My best days are ahead of me
Life hasn’t always been a party
but mostly it’s been good
There’s only one or two things that I’d change if I could
I dont get lost in the past or get stuck in some sad memory yah
My best days are ahead of me
Age is nothing but a number
Sometimes I have to wonder
What does it really mean
But heeeey im still putting it together
I keep getting better
if I keep getting better
I can be whatever I want to be
My best days are ahead of me
Age is nothing but a number
Sometimes I have to wonder
What does it really mean
But heeeey im still putting it together
I keep getting better
if I keep getting better
I can be whatever I want to be
My best days are ahead of me
I’ve got sunsets to witness
dreams to dance with
beaches to walk on
and lovers to kiss
there’s a whole lot of world out there
that I can’t wait to see
My best days are ahead of me
My best days are ahead of me
