By the
time I was your age, I'd give anything
To fall
in love truly, was all I could think
That's
when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams
The most
beautiful woman, that I'd ever seen
She
said, "Boy can I tell you a wonderful
thing?
I
can't help but notice, you're staring at
me.
I
know I shouldn't say this, but I really
believe
I
can tell by your eyes that you're in love with
me"
Now son,
I'm only telling you this...
Because
life, can do terrible things
Now most
of the time, we'd had too much to drink
And we'd
laugh at the stars and we'd share everything
Too young
to notice, and too dumb to care
Love was
a story, that couldn't compare
I
said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful
thing?
I
made you a present with paper and string.
Open
with care now, I'm asking you, please.
You
know that I love you, will you marry me?"
Now son,
I'm only telling you this...
Because
life, can do terrible things
You'll
learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll pray
That God,
shows you differently
She
said, "Boy can I tell you, a terrible
thing?
It
seems that I'm sick and I've only got
weeks.
Please,
don't be sad now, I really believe
You
were the greatest thing that ever happened to
me"
Slow, so
slow
I fell to
the ground, on my knees
So don't
fall in love, there's just too much to lose
If given
the choice, then, I'm begging you, choose
To walk
away, walk away, don't let her get you.
I can't
bear to see the same happen to you.
Now son,
I'm only telling you this
Because
life, can do terrible things
❤
