ADAM BRAND - GOOD THINGS IN LIFE lyrics

rate me

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 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 the new man at your side

"I wish you every happiness

And may you always have the best

Of the good things in life"
