TerribleThings

[00:15.21] By the time I was your age, I'd give anything

[00:21.00] To fall in love truly, was all I could think

[00:27.20] That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams

[00:31.80] The most beautiful woman, that I'd ever seen

[00:34.83] She said, "Boy, can I tell you a wonderful thing?

[00:44.44] I can't help but notice, you're staring at me.

[00:47.45] I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe,

[00:51.77] I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me."

[00:53.89] Now, son, I'm only telling you this

[01:02.45] Because life can do terrible things.

[01:02.45] Now, most of the time we'd have too much to drink

[01:21.69] And we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything

[01:34.37] Too young to notice, and too dumb to care

[01:37.25] Love was a story that couldn't compare.

[01:43.55] I said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing?

[01:45.51] I made you a present with paper and string.

[01:50.72] Open with care now, I'm asking you, please.

[01:54.05] You know that I love you, will you marry me?"

[01:58.48] Now, son, I'm only telling you this

[02:02.56] Because life can do terrible things

[02:09.53] You'll learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll pray,

[02:13.46] That God shows you differently.

[02:20.70] She said, "Boy, can I tell you a terrible thing?

[02:25.11] It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.

[02:29.99] Please, don't be sad now, I really believe,

[02:34.37] You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."

[03:00.57] Slow, so slow I fell to the ground on my knees.

[03:19.07] So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose

[03:22.00] If you're given the choice, then I beg you to choose

[03:26.52] To walk away, walk away, don't let her get you.

[03:32.32] I can't bear to see the same happen to you.

[03:36.96] Now, son, I'm only telling you this

[03:42.04] Because life can do terrible things
