Harry Worth

Elvis Costello

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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)

[Verse 2]
He walked the wet sands of summertime
Rain beat the window in drummer time
Cruel with his humor, she was quick with her tongue
But though a year had passed, the honeymoon didn't last
Somehow they didn't seem young

[Chorus]
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)

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
It's not very far from tears to mirth
There'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

[Outro]
(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)
(She'll never know what Harry was worth)
(She'll never know what Harry was worth)
