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.
