I know this girl who keeps pulling me faces As if I'm talking in another language She just turned sixteen and my last bags at the front of my parent's door Oh, it's not goodbye at all Cos I'm only down the road I told her we could talk all night on the telephone And watch the movies of us growing up I'm three years old now and I've got a brand new friend I'm staring at the front page of her life And we're all alone here, and that's alright with me We're gonna have the best days of our lives The best days of our lives Today she's a teacher, and her bedroom's a school She talks to dolls as if they all could understand her I could see even then that she could do anything that she wanted to Oh, one thing she'll never know Is how I miss her everyday I told her we could talk all night on the telephone And watch the movies of us growing up I'm three years old now and I've got a brand new friend I'm staring at the front page of her life And we're all alone here, and that's alright with me We're gonna have the best days of our lives The best days of our lives I told her we could talk all night on the telephone And watch the movies of us growing up I'm three years old now and I've got a brand new friend I'm staring at the front page of her life And we're all alone here, and that's alright with me We're gonna have the best days of our lives The best days of our lives I'm three years old now and I've got a brand new friend I'm staring at the front page of her life And we're all alone here, and that's alright with me We're gonna have the best days of our lives The best days of our lives
