(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...
