We were barely 17, two kids with a grown-up dream, perfect loveFooling around in my first car, careful not to go too far, that's how it wasWe had a simple wedding, you looked beautiful in whiteAnd I recall your mother's blessing on our wedding nightI wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in lifeWe moved into a commission house, it wasn't much and it wasn't ours, but we had plansOur work nights and you work days, 12 monthsMine seems to slip away like an avalancheI came home one morningAnd found a note pinned to the doorSaying if this is a perfect loveI don't want it anymoreBut I wish you every happinessAnd may you always have the bestOf the good things in lifeI was back in town just passing throughCatching up with friends we knewFor old time's sakeIn a crowded lunchtime barI was back in town just passing throughI turned around and there you areFace to faceAnd for the sweetest momentA smile came to your eyesSo I whispered as you walked awayWith a new man at your sideI wish you every happinessAnd may you always have the bestOf the good things in lifeI wish you every happinessAnd may you always have the bestOf the good things in lifeI wish you every happinessAnd may you always have the bestOf the good things in lifeI wish you every happiness
