terrible things

[00:18.51] By the time I was your age I'd give anything

[00:23.03] To fall in love truly was all I could think

[00:27.54] That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams

[00:31.79] The most beautiful woman that I'd ever seen

[00:36.84] She said, "Boy, can I tell you a wonderful thing?

[00:41.62] I can't help but notice you staring at me

[00:46.14] I know I shouldn't say this but I really believe

[00:50.92] I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me"

[00:55.43] Now son, I'm only telling you this because life

[01:02.07] Can do terrible things

[01:23.32] Now most of the time we'd have too much to drink

[01:27.84] We'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything

[01:32.89] Too young to notice and too dumb to care

[01:37.67] Love was a story that couldn't compare

[01:41.91] I said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing?

[01:46.70] I made you a present with paper and string

[01:51.48] Open with care now, I'm asking you please

[01:55.99] You know that I love you, will you marry me?"

[02:00.51] Now son, I'm only telling you this because life

[02:07.15] Can do terrible things

[02:10.07] You'll learn one day, I hope and I pray that God

[02:16.45] Shows you differently

[02:21.22] She said, "Boy, can I tell you a terrible thing?

[02:26.27] It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks

[02:31.32] Please don't be sad now, I really believe

[02:35.84] You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me"

[03:01.34] Slow, so slow

[03:09.31] I fell to the ground

[03:14.62] On my knees

[03:19.93] So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose

[03:23.92] If you're given the choice then I beg you choose

[03:28.97] To walk away, walk away

[03:31.62] Don't let her get you

[03:33.75] I can't bare to see the same thing happen to you

[03:38.26] Now son, I'm only telling you this because life

[03:44.90] Can do terrible things
