By the time i was your age i'd give anything...to fall in love truly was all i could think. Thats when i met you 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 cant help but notice you staring at me, i know i shouldn't say this but i really believe that i can tell by your eyes that your in love with me"
*
Now son, im only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
*
*
Now most of the time we'd have too much to drink and we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything. To 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 im asking you please. You know that i love you, will you marry me?"
Now son, im only telling you this because life can do terrible things. You'll learn one day, i'll hope and ill pray that god shows you differently.
*
She said " Boy can i tell you a terrible thing?" " It seems that im sick and i've only got weeks, please dont 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 dont fall in love there's just too much to lose. If you're given the choice then i beg you to choose to walk away, walk away dont let her get to you, i cant bare to see the same thing happen to you.

Now son im only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
