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 your father
the boy of my dream
the most wonderful man
that I'd ever seen
he said girl can I tell you a wonderful thing
I can help but notice you staring at me
I know I shouldnt say this but i really believe
I can tell by your eyes that youre in love with me
now son I'm only telling you this because
life can do terrible things
now most of the time we had to much to drink
and we laugh at the stars
and we share everything
too young to notice
and too dumb to care
that love was a story that couldnt compare
I said boy 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
youll learn one day
I hope and I pray
that god shows you differently
he said girl can I tell you a terrible things
it seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks
please dont be sad now I really believe that
you were the greatest thing that ever happen to me
slow, so slow
I fell to the ground on my knees
so dont fall in love as just too much to lose
if you given a choice then I'm begging you choose
to walk away, walk away dont let her get you
I can bare to see the same happen to you
now son I'm only telling you this because
life can do terrible things
