Age of six
He loved her so
And everyday
He'd let her know
"I love you Grace"
He'd say each day
She'd just laugh
And run away
Till one day
She turned around
And sat with him
On the playground
"I'm sorry Chris
I don't love you
You'll find someone else
Who loves you too"
High school came
They met again
They laughed about
The things back then
They began to date
And fell in love
He got the girl
That he'd dreamed of
But when college came
Everything changed
They were far apart
With lives rearranged
"We'll be fine Grace"
But she had doubt
She turned and said
"It won't work out"
"I'm sorry Chris
I can't love you
You'll find someone else
Who loves you too"
In their twenties
They met again
They laughed about
The things back then
He took her hand
They began to dance
Remembering
Their old romance
Two years later
She became his wife
They'd be together
All of their life
They went on a drive
When it was no longer light
They drove down the roads
Of the starry night
The music came on
She started to sing
He whispered, "Grace
You're my everything"
But then suddenly
In one big flash
Headlights shone
As their car crashed
He saw her laying
Down on the ground
He felt his tears
Start rolling down
"Grace..." he cried
She took his hand
"I have to leave...
Please understand"
"I love you so much
It's always been true
But you'll find someone else
And you'll love again too"
"No," he cried
"It's always been you
I don't want someone else
I only want you"
And there on that street
Is where he cried
Hugging his love
As she slowly died
