I met them first on their wedding night |
|
Faces were flushed by their pledges plight |
|
We passed in the hall and |
|
I met them well |
|
But as their carriage arrived, |
|
I found that |
|
I couldn't quite tell them |
|
It's not very far from tears to mirth |
|
There're not many moments that will capture your breath |
|
It's not very long that you spend on this earth |
|
She'd never know just what |
|
Harry was worth |
|
She'll never know |
|
He walked the wet sands of summertime |
|
Rain beat the window in drama time |
|
Cruel with his humor, she was quick with her tongue |
|
But though a year had passed the honeymoon didn't last |
|
Somehow they didn't seem young |
|
It's not very far from tears to mirth |
|
There're not many moments that will capture your breath |
|
It's not very long that you spend on this earth |
|
She'd never know just what |
|
Harry was worth |
|
She'll never know |
|
They're on their holidays |
|
But they still find a reason to fight |
|
No matter how long they stay |
|
Can't make the rest of the year right |
|
Five years have passed 'til |
|
I happened along |
|
He said, "Do you hear that noise? Well, that once was our song" |
|
I looked in her eyes and saw barely a spark |
|
He laughed too loud then he drank until dark |
|
It's not very far from tears to mirth |
|
It's not many moments that will capture your breath |
|
It's not very long that you spend on this earth |
|
She'd never know just what |
|
Harry was worth |
|
She'll never know what |
|
Harry was worth |
|
She'll never know what |
|
Harry was worth |
|
No, she'll never know what |
|
Harry was worth |
|
She'll never know what |
|
Harry was worth |
|
No, she'll never know what |
|
Harry was worth |
|
She'll never know what |
|
Harry was worth |
