Good Things In Life (Live) Songtext / Lyric

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



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.
