Bryan Adams is a talented musician who was also touched by Dorothy's life. He co-wrote the Prism song "Cover Girl" with Lindsay Mitchell and teamed up with JimVallance on the song, "The Best was Yet to Come" which was submitted to Warner Bros for the movie Star 80. Many fans have asked for the words to this song. Bryan has kindly given me permission to post the lyrics on my site. Here they are with a link to Bryan's Website.

The Best Was Yet To Come

Just a small town girl in the city lights
The best was yet to come
Then lonely days turned to endless nights
The best was yet to come

How were you to know
That you would be the lucky one
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come

You can cry yourself to sleep at night
You can't change the things you've done
You had it there then it slipped away
Yeah you left the song unsung

Even through your tears
I never saw you come undone
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come

I find myself thinkin' about yesterday
When you were here and livin' in a dream
In the moment that it takes
You find you made your first mistake
Like the setting sun....
You turn around it's gone

Just a small town girl who had it made
Or so the story goes
She had it there then it slipped away
Oh - how was she to know

Even through her tears
I never saw her come undone
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come.
