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

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

He walked the wet sands of summertime
Rain beat the window in drummertime
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 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

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

It´s not very far from tears to mirth
It´s 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 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
No, she´ll never know what Harry was worth
She´ll never know what Harry was worth
