Luyện nghe bài hát THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES

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

BUT WORLD WORLD ONE THE GERMAN HUN LOCKED FORCES WITH THE CROWN.
AND THE BRITISH LOCKED THEIR GERMANS UP WHEREVER WERE FOUND.
THEY TOOK MY GERMAN 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 KIDS BACK TO HER HOME IN THE COUNTY
NOT BRITISH SON NOR GERMAN NOW YOUR IRISH, SHE DECLARED.
SHE US TO LOVE IRELAND AND TO HATE THE BLACKENED TIN MINES,
AND THE EIGHT OF US TURNED IN THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES.

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

THEN I MET A GIRL FROM AND SHE QUICKLY WON MY HEART
WE WERE MARRIED IN THE BRONX IN JUNE AND TOGETHER MADE A
WE SURVIVIED THE 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 DRINK I CANNOT UP
FOR A MAN'S ALONE WHEN THERE IS NO MORE HOME WITH HIS AN DARLING WIFE
AND I KNOW ARE ALL BEHIND ME NOW, THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIFE.
