Jackie DeShannon - Best Years of Our Lives

{Intro}
(Why don't I sing "Best Years of Your Life" while you try, while you try to do that?)

{Verse 1}
They say your heart is broken
And my love was just a token
They say this parting cuts you like a knife
But if you let it grieve you
You're youth will surely leave you
'Cause these will be the best years of your life

{Chorus}
I know it won't be easy
For your memories are busy
And yet, you're still too young for all this strife
So, let me tell you like a mother
"Go on out and find another
And thеse will be the bеst years of your life"

{Instrumental Break}

{Verse 2}
They say the taste is bitter
Because you loved a quitter
But you're not free to take me for a wife
You're lucky that is over
For somehow you'll recover
And these will be the best years of your life

{Chorus}
I know it won't be easy
For your memories are busy
And yet, you're still too young for all this strife
So, let me tell you like a mother
"Go on out and find another
And these will be the best years of your life"
