Either play this again and only start strumming at She said...
By the time I was your age Id give anything to fall in love truly
was all I could think, thats when I met your mother the girl of my dreams,
the most beautiful woman that Id ever seen.
She said, Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I cant help but notice you staring at me,
I know I shouldnt say this, but I really believe,
I can tell by your eyes that youre in love with me.
Now son, Im only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
Now most of the time wed have too much to drink
and wed laugh at the stars and share everything.
Too young to notice and too dumb to care,
love was a story that couldnt compare.
I said girl can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I made you a present with paper and string,
open with care now, Im asking you please,
you know that I love you, will you marry me?
Now son, Im only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
Youll 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 Im sick and Ive only got weeks.
Please dont 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 dont fall in love theres just too much to lose
if youre given the choice, Im begging you choose to
walk away, walk away,
dont let it get you, I cant bear to see the same happen to you.
Now son, Im only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
