I remember when you told me All the joys in life In simple things and pleasure They would bring When in troubled times And I remember then You told me to wait patiently I'd be rushing in much too hastily Not knowing where to begin But wanting it all there and then These are the best days of our lives These are the best days of our lives I remember when you said "The finest pearl came from a grain of sand Expect to work for it and don't grow up too soon Such a precious jewel, only a fool would be rushing in" These are the best days of our lives These are the best days of our lives
