The Best Years Of Her Life (1985)
 

She was young, he was old
She was shy, he was bold
And so it went
She would give, he would take
Dreaming of her wedding cake
Her time was spent
But why did no one tell her
That he had a wife and son
Everyone had known
That he was in it just for fun
She gave the best years of her life
To someone else’s man
She gave the best years of her life
To just one man
She gave the best years of her life
And now she’s lost and alone
And her touch is cold
She can’t forget how her heart was sold
In the best years of her life
She grew up, he grew bored
Rust upon the lover’s sword
He casts the blame
Endless days without a sound
The love she lost was never found
He seldom came
A simple twist of fortune
Made the tragedy complete
She saw the happy family
Embracing in the street
