From the time that we first met
Standing there in the hall
Talking with all your friends
Couldn’t find a way to let you know
Just how much I wanted you
You must have known
All the love you would get


Someone had to be the first
The first one to make a move
To say hello and let you know
Just how much I loved you
Oh how much we have grown

You became my wife
We went on and made a life
A beautiful girl to call our own
Oh how our love must have shown
Time flies fast she’s all grown
Moved out and on her own

You got sick and went downhill quick
Doctor says you won’t survive this
All these years that we have spent
Always being together
There’s no way I could do it alone
That is why I have to say

As you lie there reading this
Please understand I didn’t want to leave like this
But, someone has to be the first
And I just couldn’t let it be you.
