C Am
By the time I was your age I’d 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.
C
She said, “Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?”
Am
“I can’t help but notice you staring at me,
F
I know I shouldn’t say this, but I really believe,
G
I can tell by your eyes that you’re in love with me.”
F G Am F G
Now son, I’m only telling you this because life can do terrible things.

C
Now most of the time we’d have too much to drink
Am
and we’d laugh at the stars and share everything.
F
Too young to notice and too dumb to care,
G
love was a story that couldn’t compare.
C
I said girl can I tell you a wonderful thing?
Am
“I made you a present with paper and string,
F
open with care now, I’m asking you please,
G
you know that I love you, will you marry me?”
F G Am F G
Now son, I’m only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
F G Am F G
You’ll learn one day, and I hope and I pray that God shows you differently.
C
She said, “Boy can I tell you a terrible thing?
Am
“It seems that I’m sick and I’ve only got weeks.
F
Please don’t be sad now, I really believe,
G
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me.”
C Am F G
Slow, so slow, I fell to the ground on my knees.
C
So don’t fall in love there’s just too much to lose
Am
if you’re given the choice, I’m begging you choose
F
to walk away, walk away,
G
don’t let it get you, I can’t bare to see the same happen to you.
F G Am F G
Now son, I’m only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
