Lyrics:
The best of times is now.
What's left of Summer
But a faded rose?
The best of times is now.
As for tomorrow,
Well, who knows? Who knows? Who knows?
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love
As hard as you know how.
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now.
Now, not some forgotten yesterday.
Now, tomorrow is too far away.
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love
As hard as you know how.
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now.
The best of times is now.
What's left of summer
But a faded rose?
The best of times is now.
As for tomorrow,
Well, who knows? Who knows? Who knows?
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love
As hard as you know how.
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now.
Now, not some forgotten yesterday.
Now, tomorrow is too far away.
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love
As hard as you know how.
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now.
The best of times is now.
What's left of Summer
But a faded rose?
The best of times is now.
As for tomorrow,
Well, who knows? Who knows? Who knows?
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love
As hard as you know how.
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now.
Now, not some forgotten yesterday.
Now, tomorrow is too far away.
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love
As hard as you know how.
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now, is now.
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love
As hard as you know how.
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now,
Is now, is now.

日本では84年に初めて幕を開けた『La Cage Aux Folles』｡その中で二幕目いや芝居全体のクライマックスで歌われるこの作品が僕は大好きです｡
　作品のテーマは｢愛｣そして｢人との絆｣｡今では失われかけているけれど､生きている人にとって最も大切なものであり､決して忘れたり失ってはならない掛け替えのないもの｡
　最初に観た時､僕は｢これだ！｣と全身に電流が走るのに近いものを感じさせてくれました｡ありがとう､ジェリー･ハーマンさん

When La Cage premiered on Broadway we were in some of the darkest days of the AIDS pandemic. Working in Greewich Village and summering at Fire Island we couldn't escape the sadness, horror, and death that engulfed our community. We had to help and support our community to get through this horrific time. I must have known at least 100 that died between Greenwich Village and Fire Island. We would cling to anything that would give us the strength to move on and accept the sickness and deaths of some of our dearest friends and aquaintances. This Musical by Jerry Herman and Harvey Firestien had inspiration songs that helped us move towards the future and past a castatrophe we didn't know would ever end.

One of my favorite songs

B Term. Indeed! And 50 years on the pain may be suppressed - but never quite forgotten. Some compensation may be to have experienced an amazing era, with artistic gems in so many fields which echo on and remain immortal!
