|
We were barely seventeen |
|
Two kids with the grown up dream |
|
Of a perfect love Foolin' round in my first car |
|
Careful not to go too far |
|
That's how it was |
|
We had a simple wedding |
|
You looked beautiful in white |
|
And I recall your mother's blessing |
|
On our wedding night "I wish you every happiness |
|
And may you always have the best |
|
Of the good things in life" |
|
We moved into a commission house |
|
It wasn't much and it wasn't ours |
|
But we had plans |
|
I worked nights and you worked days |
|
And twelve months seemed to slip away |
|
Like an avalanche |
|
Then I came home one morning |
|
Found your note pinned to the door |
|
Saying if this is a perfect love |
|
I don't want it any more |
|
But "I wish you every happiness |
|
And may you always have the best |
|
Of the good things in life" |
|
I was back in town just passing through |
|
Catching up with friends we knew |
|
For old times sake In a crowded lunch time bar |
|
I turn around and there you are |
|
Face to face |
|
And for the sweetest moment |
|
A smile came to your eyes |
|
So I whispered as you walked away |
|
With the new man at your side |
|
"I wish you every happiness |
|
And may you always have the best |
|
Of the good things in life" |
