Lyrics:
By the time I was your age I�d give anything to fall in
love truly
was all I could think,
that�s when I met your 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 can�t help but notice you staring at me,
I know I shouldn�t say this, but I really believe,
I can tell by your eyes that you�re in love with me.�
Now son, I�m 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 share everything.
Too 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, 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
you�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 don�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 don�t fall in love there�s just too much to lose
if you�re given the choice, I�m begging you choose to
walk away, walk away,
don�t let it get you, I can�t bare to see the same
happen to you.
Now son, I�m only telling you this, because life can do
terrible things.
