We were barely 17, two kids with a grown-up dream, perfect love
Fooling around 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
Our work nights and you work days, 12 months
Mine seems to slip away like an avalanche
I came home one morning
And found a note pinned to the door
Saying if this is a perfect love
I don't want it anymore
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 time's sake
In a crowded lunchtime bar
I was back in town just passing through
I turned 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 a new man at your side
I wish you every happiness
And may you always have the best
Of the good things in life
I wish you every happiness
And may you always have the best
Of the good things in life
I wish you every happiness
And may you always have the best
Of the good things in life
I wish you every happiness
