Good Things in Life Songtext
von Adam Brand

We were barely seventeen
Two kids with a grown up dream
Of perfect love
Foolin′ 'round 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
I worked nights and you worked days
And twelve months seemed to slip away
Like an avalanche


I came home one morning
And found your note pinned to the door
Saying "If this is a perfect love
I don′t want it any more

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 times sake
And in a crowded lunch time bar
I turn around and there you are
Face to face

And for the sweetest moment
A smile came to your eyes
And so I whispered as you walked away
With a new man by your side

"I wish you every happiness
And may you always have the best
Of the good things in life"

And I wish you every happiness
And may you always have the best
Of the good things in life
