I should laugh, but I cry,
Because your Alove has passed me A7by.
You took me by surDmprise;
You didn't reaDm7lize
That I was E7waitEing.
Time goes Aslowly, but carries A7on.
And now the Abest years have come and A7gone.
You took me by surDmprise,
I didn't reaDm7lize
That you were E7laughEing.
(DLaughAing)
Cause you re Bmdoing it to Ame.

And now the Abest years have come and A7gone.
