Got a date a week from
Friday with a preacher's son
Everybody says he's crazy
I'll
have to see
"Zeeke asked me out again. We have a date a week from Friday. I guess I thought you'd like to know. You know his wife died a year ago. He knows what it's like to start over. Starting over isn't something I want to do. I had a plan, had each step planned out and this didn't factor into it."
I finally moved to Jackson when the summer came
I
won't have to pay that boy to rake my leaves
"I moved to Jackson and took the job as the Drama teacher. I miss Albuquerque you know. It' a half-hour drive now but on the bright side the landlord takes care of the yard. I won't have to pay anybody to rake my leaves this year."
I'm probably going on and on
It seems I'm
doing more of that these days
"I'm talking to much again aren't I? I can't help it. Ryan and Tyler tried out for the basketball team. The boys are the best singers I've ever seen and all they can talk about is that stupid sport of yours. Ryan carries your ball around every where. Tyler got your old number and he's so excited about that. He's coming out to tell you that himself. So don't tell him I told you okay?"
[CHORUS 1:]
I
probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I
never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh You left so
fast
Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes it's like I'm
losing touch
Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky to have had the
chance to love this much
God gave me a moment's grace
'Cause if
I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way
"Who would have thought that we'd ever get together right? I mean I can't recall a single high school memory that we aren't fighting in. My brother thought we'd both gone off the deep end. Troy use to say we'd end up being that Nickelback song all the wrong reasons. They were wrong though, we were perfect."
Mama says that
I just shouldn't speak to you
Susan says that I should just move
on
"Gabby thinks my date is great. She's always saying that I should just move on. She doesn't understand that I have to think of our boys. Mama forbid me from coming out here anymore. She says that I always cry to much when I come home."
You oughta see the way these people look at
me
When they see me 'round here talking to this stone
"My brother insisted on coming out here with me the other day. You should've seen the look on his face when he realized that I was talking to you like you could answer back."
Everybody thinks I've lost my mind
But
I just take it day by day
"He told me about a counselor that I could look up to help. I told him I wasn't crazy but I don't think he believed me."
[CHORUS 2:]
I
probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I
never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh You left so
fast
Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes I feel an
angel's touch
Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky to have had the
chance to love this much
God gave me a moment's grace
'Cause if
I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way
Probably wouldn't be this way
"Sometimes I think you really are here. I can almost hear what you'd say. Like when Ry asked if he could go to that party. I could hear the questions you'd ask. He even stated that I sounded like you, I thought Tyler would cry. We miss you baby."
Got A Date a week
from Friday with a preacher's son
Everybody says I'm crazy
Guess
I'll have to see
"I really miss you Chad, I need my basketball star! Why did you leave me here to do this alone? Maybe Zeeke will have an answer." Sharpay stood and placed the roses on Chad's grave, "I love you." She turned and walked away oblivious to her son standing in the shadows.
Tyler walked up to the grave and sat down; "Since Mom ruined my big news I guess I'll just have to tell you all the things she didn't…"
