You say your heart is broken that my love was just a token

You say this parting touch you like a knife

But if you let it grieve you your youth would surely leave you

Cause these should be the best years of your life

I know it won't be easy cause your memories are busy

And yet you're still too young for all the strife

So let me tell you like a brother go on out and find another

And these will be the best years of your life

[ steel ]

You say the taste is bitter because you love a quitter

But I'm not free to take you for my wife

You're lucky that it's over for somehow you recover

And these will be the best years of your life

I know it won't be easy...
