Harry Worth

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] He walked the wet sands of summertime Rain beat the window in drummer time Cruel with his humor She was quick with her tongue But though a year had passed The honeymoon didn't last Somehow they didn't seem young [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus]
