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 pa**ing 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"
