Café Society - Best Years of My Life Lyrics

In all of my whole life
I'd never seen a reason to be all uptight
I'd never seen a season changing overnight
I'd never be that selfish

She took away the best years of my life
Took away the only love I'd known
Took away the badness in my eyes
Took away the madness in my whole entire life

I'd never been a stranger in her life
I'd never rearrange things for her and all one night
She up and left me

(That girl)
Took away the best years of my life
Took away the only love I'd known
Took away the madness in my eyes
Took away the sadness in my whole entire life

(I say again, she left me straightaway)
And took away the best years of my life
Took away the only love I'd known
Took away the sadness in my eyes
Took away the gladness in my whole entire life

(I say again, she left me straightaway)
And took away the darkness and the rain
Took away the pleasure and the pain
Took away the peace in peace of mind
Took away the hope for all mankind
Took away the rivers, lakes, and streams
Took away our visions, hopes, and dreams
Took away the farmer in the dell
Took away the heaven and the hell
Took away the left, the right, the wrong
Took away it all except this song
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...
