Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl

She was absolutely perfect in an imperfect world

Forever's a promise, it's more than just a word

They meant it to each other, of that they were sure

He came home to her crying at the top of the stairs

He asked, "baby what's the matter?" as he pushed back her hair

She said honey I'm sick. What the hell did I do?

And with hate in his heart, he screamed at the moon

Please don't take her away from me, she truly is everything, that I have left

As selfish as it may seem, I need you here with me

Day after day, he stood by her side, while Sleepless in Seattle, played through his mind

Forever seems longer when you've got your whole life, but forever is forgotten where the end draws the line

She said "honey just listen, listen to me, we should be together in a boat on the sea."

He held back his tears, and spoke quietly, "When I picture forever, it's you here with me."

Please don't take her away from me, she truly is everything, that I have left

As selfish as it may seem, I need you here and please just let her go painlessly

Let her drift on in her dreams. Just don't make her feel a thing

Just try to get some sleep. This angel deserves her wings

As leaves fell from the trees, she became a memory, to a man who lost everything

Forever doesn't mean anything. Just a promise that we keep

But there's hope for you and me

She looked to the sky and with one final breath, she said "take this heart from out of my chest. Carry it far with the love you possess. I'm sorry my boy, but I tried my best
