[00:02.84]
[00:05.05]
[00:18.78]By the time I was your age I'd give anything
[00:23.11]to fall in love truly was all I could think,
[00:27.57]that's when I met your mother
[00:30.24]the girl of my dreams,
[00:32.43]the most beautiful woman that I'd ever seen.
[00:36.97]She said boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
[00:42.01]"I can't help but notice you staring at me,
[00:46.79]I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe,
[00:51.14]I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me."
[00:55.79]Now son, I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
[01:06.88]
[01:23.49]Now most of the time we'd have too much to drink
[01:28.14]and we'd laugh at the stars and share everything.
[01:33.14]Too young to notice and too dumb to care,
[01:37.99]love was a story that couldn't compare.
[01:42.11]I said girl can I tell you a wonderful thing?
[01:46.85]"I made you a present with paper and string,
[01:52.02]open with care now, I'm asking you please,
[01:56.35]you know that I love you,
[01:58.45]will you marry me?"
[02:00.72]Now son I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things
[02:10.25]you'll learn one day, and I hope and I pray that God shows you differently.
[02:20.78]
[02:21.69]She said boy can I tell you a terrible thing?
[02:26.51]"It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.
[02:31.36]Please don't be sad now, I really believe,
[02:36.14]you were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."
[02:42.24]
[03:01.64]Slow, so slow,
[03:09.34]I fell to the ground on my knees.
[03:18.22]
[03:19.91]So don't fall in love there's just too much to lose
[03:24.33]if you're given the choice, I'm begging you choose to walk away, walk away,
[03:31.86]don't let it get you,
[03:33.78]I can't bare to see the same happen to you.
[03:37.02]
[03:38.28]Now son, I'm only telling you this, because life can do terrible things.
