INTRO 
D 
 
G 
We were barely seventeen  
Two kids with the grown up dream 
      D            G 
Of a perfect love Foolin' round in my first car  
Careful not to go too far 
           D  
That's how it was 
Bm  
We had a simple wedding 
           D  
You looked beautiful in white  
     G 
And I recall your mother's blessing  
Em                      A 
On our wedding night "I wish you every happiness  
And may you always have the best 
       D                
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"
