We were barely seventeen Two kids with a grown up dream Of 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 I came home one morning And 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 And 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 And so I whispered as you walked away With a new man by your side "I wish you every happiness And may you always have the best Of the good things in life" And I wish you every happiness And may you always have the best Of the good things in life
