Lyrics:

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
