By the time I was your age,
I'd give a-ny-thing to fall
in love tru-ly was all I could think.
That's when I met your mo-ther,
the girl of my dreams.
The most beau-ti-ful wo-man
that I'd e-ver seen.
She said boy can I tell you
a won-der-ful thing.
I can't help but no-tice you
sta-ring at me.
I know I should-n't say this,
but I real-ly be-lieve that
I can tell by your eyes,
that you're in love with me.
Now son, I'm on-ly tel-ling you this
be-cause life can do ter-ri-ble thi-ngs.
Now most of the time,
we'd have too much to drink,
and we'd laugh at the stars,
and we'd share e-very-thing.
Too young to no-tice and too dumb to care.
Love was a sto-ry that could-n't com-pare.
I said girl can I tell you
a won-der-ful thing.
I made you a pre-sent with pa-per and string.
O-pen with care.
Now I'm ask-ing you please.
You know that I love you,
will you mar-ry me.
Now son, I'm on-ly tel-ling you this
be-cause life can do ter-ri-ble thi-ngs.
You'll learn one day and I hope and I pray,
that God shows you dif-fer-ent-ly.
She said boy can I tell you
a te-rri-ble thing.
It seems that I'm sick and I've on-ly got weeks.
Please don't be sad now I rea-ly be-lieve
you were the great-est thing
that e-ver hap-pend 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 you're gi-ven the choice,
then I'm beg-ging you choo-se
to walk a-way.
Walk a-way, don't let her get you.
I can't bare to see the same hap-pen to you.
Now son, I'm on-ly tel-ling you this
be-cause life can do ter-ri-ble thi-ngs.
