 I met them first on their wedding night
Faces were flushed by promises plighted
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 moments that 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 on the wet sands of summertime
Rain beat the window in drummertime
He was 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 moments that 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 holiday
But they still find a reason to fight
Now matter how long they say
Can't put the rest of the year right
Five had passed when 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 and then drank until dark
It's not very far from tears to mirth
It's not 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
She'll never know what Harry was worth
She'll never know what Harry was worth)
