..................................................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 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 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 it 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.
