| 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 are 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 drummertime
|
| Cruel with his humour
|
| 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 are 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 had 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 |
