Good Things in Life

We were barely seventeen
Two kids with the 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
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 a new man at your side

"I wish you every happiness
And may you always have the best
Of the good things in life"

I wish you every happiness
And may you always have the best
Of the good things in life
I wish you every happiness
And may you always have the best
Of the good things in life
