Letra de Terrible things

By the time I was your age I´ve 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 that 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
We´d laugh at the stars and we´d 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, 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 given the choice then I beg you to choose
To walk away, walk away
Don´t let her get you
I can´t bare to see the same thing happen to you
Now son, I´m only telling you this because
Life, can do terrible things.
