Lyrics:
By the time I was your age IÂ’d give anything to fall in
love truly
was all I could think,
thatÂ’s when I met your mother
the girl of my dreams,
the most beautiful woman that IÂ’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 shouldnÂ’t say this, but I really believe,
I can tell by your eyes that you’re in love with me.”
Now son, IÂ’m only telling you this because life can do
terrible things.
Now most of the time weÂ’d have too much to drink
and weÂ’d laugh at the stars and share everything.
Too young to notice and too dumb to care,
love was a story that couldnÂ’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, IÂ’m asking you please,
you know that I love you,
will you marry me?”
Now son IÂ’m only telling you this because life can do
terrible things
youÂ’ll learn one day, and I hope and I 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 donÂ’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 donÂ’t fall in love thereÂ’s just too much to lose
if youÂ’re given the choice, IÂ’m begging you choose to
walk away, walk away,
donÂ’t let it get you, I canÂ’t bare to see the same
happen to you.
Now son, IÂ’m only telling you this, because life can do
terrible things.
