Luyện nghe bài hát THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES

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

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

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

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

THEN I MET A GIRL FROM GALWAY AND SHE QUICKLY WON MY
WE WERE MARRIED IN THE BRONX IN JUNE AND TOGETHER A START
WE SURVIVIED THE GREAT THOUGH WE OFTEN WE LIVED IN DIVES
AND WE HAD THREE AND DAUGHTERS IN THE BEST YEARS OF LIVES.

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