I could have stopped him,
but instead I stood still
And watched him drive his
sword through your heart
I saw your necklace break
apart
And I heard his cruel
laughter
I still remember the day I
met you, at the church in the slums
I heard your sweet voice and
opened my eyes
I thought I had died
And was looking at an angel
I pick up your body and walk
to the edge of the water
You feel so cold and empty;
your skin looks so pale
It seems like I've failed
I've failed you and now
you're gone
I think of our first date at
the Gold Saucer
We watched the fireworks in
the sky
And now I wonder why
I never told you how I felt
I walk through the water and
hold you close
Look at your face one last
time and let you go
Time moves so slow
Painful moments last an
eternity
You were the one who lifted
our spirits when we were feeling down
With your beautiful eyes and
cheerful smile
And all the while
I never realized how much I needed
you
I hold back my tears
They can't see me cry
So I'll turn around and lie
Convince them I'm all right
Aeris, you were so brave
I won't let your sacrifice
be in vain
Sephiroth will pay for your
suffering and pain
I'll finish what you started
