Luyện nghe bài hát THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES

I WAS BORN IN LONDON IN NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIVE
MY FATHER WAS A GERMAN, WITH AN GAL HIS BRIDE
HE WORKED AS A WAITER AND SHE AS HIS WIFE
AND THEY HARD TO MAKE THOSE TIMES THE BEST YEARS OF THEIR LIVES.

BUT WITH WORLD WORLD ONE THE GERMAN HUN LOCKED WITH THE CROWN.
AND THE LOCKED THEIR GERMANS UP WHEREVER THEY WERE FOUND.
TOOK MY GERMAN FATHER FROM HIS CHILDREN AND HIS WIFE,
AND THEY LOCKED HIM UP ON THE OF MAN FOR THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES

AND MY MAMA TOOK HER EIGHT BACK TO HER HOME IN THE COUNTY CLAIRE
NOT BRITISH SON NOR GERMAN NOW YOUR IRISH, SHE DECLARED.
SHE TAUGHT US TO LOVE IRELAND AND TO HATE THE TIN MINES,
AND THE EIGHT OF US TURNED IN THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES.

I IN AMERICA IN NINETEEN TWENTY THREE
AND I GOT A JOB AND I WORKED REAL HARD TO UNITE MY
AND ONE BE ONE I BROUGHT THEM TO SHARE IN AMERICA'S PRIZE
OF A BRAND NEW DAY THE USA THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES.

I MET A GIRL FROM GALWAY AND SHE QUICKLY WON MY HEART
WE WERE MARRIED IN THE IN JUNE AND TOGETHER MADE A START
WE THE GREAT DEPRESSION THOUGH WE OFTEN WE LIVED IN DIVES
AND WE HAD THREE SONS AND IN THE BEST YEARS OF LIVES.

BUT MY LOVE IS GONE NOW AND I AM OLD AND THE CHILDREN ALL UP
AND NO MATTER WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY THE I CANNOT GIVE UP
FOR A MAN'S ALONE WHEN THERE IS NO HOME WITH HIS KIDS AN DARLING WIFE
AND I KNOW THEY ARE ALL BEHIND ME NOW, THE YEARS OF OUR LIFE.
