(And these will be the best years of your life) 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 [ guitar ] You say that taste is bitter because you loved a quitter But I'm not free to take you for a while You're lucky that it's over cause somehow you recover And these will be the best years of your life I know it won't be easy...
