Gokey, Danny - My Best Days Are Ahead Of Me Lyrics






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 don't get lost in the past
Or get stuck in some sad memory, yeah
My best days are ahead of me

Age ain't nothing but a number
Sometimes I have to wonder what does it really mean
Hey, I'm still putting it together
I keep getting better, if I keep getting better
I can be whatever I wanna 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

  39. K.... S....

    Just made a big change of plans in my life, and I've got to admit, it's been overwhelming to get out of something that I just knew for sure would work out. But, at the end of the day, I know it was for the best, and it can only get better from here. I first heard this song many years ago as a much more immature version of myself and just brushed it off as another country hit, but nowadays, I get it.

    Danny, I just heard this for the first time today at a water resistance class and loved it! I came home and watched the video enough to hear every word and write down all the phrases which appear in the video. As is often the case when I am paying attention, your song was the perfect inspiration I needed to hear and see today. Thank you Danny and thank you God. Good to hear you again - my favorite during your season of American Idol. :)

    I love country music

  78. s.... f....

    this was my Sixth Grade Graduation Song!!! I love the teachers that i had and every time i here this song it brings back all the memories i had when i was a sixth grader. And all of the teachers i had feel the same way too when they here this song especially the music teacher who is like my school mom!! I love my school and where i am at but the world just keeps on slipping away from my mind and i try to catch it but sometimes is doesn't work. And i don't care what anybody say's on my comment i will just ignore it. I don't let people get in my head by criticism. My comment my life if people don't like it please keep your opinions to yourself!!    

  79. S.... H....

    Love it, God made a promise and my God does not lie. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and He will direct you in the right direction shew! Glory to the God of Elijah, the same God. He can and will do miracles if you let him and have faith, I feel the presence of the lord! ( Dustin)

    When things don't work out the way id hope for, or a tragedy happens in my life, soemtimes I can't help but sit and sulk, its human nature. But the other day, this song popped into my head and it reminded me that I am only 19 years old and my best days are ahead of me.

    I am a die-hard fan of Danny Gokey. He had one of the most talented country voices in a long time, and he really deserves to be played more on the radio. I don't know why he isn't. He deserves more.

  99. A.... A....

    Gokey live is WAY BETTER THAN THIS VIDEO. VIDEO NEEDS TO BE RESHOT and SONG NEEDS TO BE RE RECORDED. HIS LIVE VERSION COULD BE ON RADIO. THIS VERSION I COULD ONLY PLAY ONCE. NO VEBRADA ...GOKEY SHINES WITH HIS VEBRADA sorry I cant spell
