We planned a little family
Yes, we were so in love
Then her father made it very plain
That push would come to shove
But this is now and that was then
Before things got out of hand
It's just the way, so they say
With the Best Laid Plans
We were gonna spend our summers
In the cool of the mountain-side
We'd've spent our winters on some balmy tropic isle
But this is now and that was then
Before things got out of hand
It's just the way, so they say
With the Best Laid Plans
Now in this world of trouble and woe
It's easy to sink into dark despair
That's when you gotta realize
Yeah, we've all of us been there
And that was then and this is now
And things are out of hand
It's just the way. So they say
With the Best Laid Plans
