(Keith Lloyd)
You say your heart is broken
That my love was just a token
You say this parting touched 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.
--- Instrumental ---
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
'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...
You say your heart is broken
That my love was just a token
You say this parting touched 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.
--- Instrumental ---
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
'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...
