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"
