Very Best Years Lyrics

Okay it started a long time ago when I was a little boy
Sometimes a little one don't do what he's told and mother puts back his toy

Chorus:
Yes there is something you can do my love

Won't you help me through these troubled times

And serve to remind

That everything is gonna be alright despite my fighting bitter tears

These are the very best years
These days father's not the man that we knew and you know we get so low
That's when you find me alone with my will, and my wine, and these scars that show

(chorus)

I was just five years old
had this dream that took me far away
and brought me here today
where my hopes and fears
are gathered around
can't you feel them hangin' round
Yes there is something you can do my love
Won't you help me through these troubled times
And serve to remind
That everything is gonna be alright despite my fighting bitter tears
And serve to remind
Yes everything is gonna be alright despite my fighting bitter tears
'Cause these are the very best years, yeah

These are the very best years
