I'll always remember

It was late afternoon

It lasted forever

And ended too soon

You were all by yourself

Staring up at a dark gray sky

I was changed

In places no one would find

All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)

It was then that I realized

That forever was in your eyes

The moment I saw you cry

The moment that I saw you cry

It was late in september

And I've seen you before (and you were)

You were always the cold one

But i was never that sure

You were all by yourself

Staring at a dark gray sky

I was changed

In places no one would find

All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)

It was then that I realized

That forever was in your eyes

The moment I saw you cry

I wanted to hold you

i wanted to make it go away

I wanted to know you

I wanted to make your everything, all right....

I'll always remember...

It was late afternoon...

In places no one would find...

In places no one would find

All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)

It was then that I realized

That forever was in your eyes

The moment I saw you cry

Later that night Brooke comes in

"Hey sweetie" Chris said

"Hey" Brooke said quietly

"Whats wrong?"

"I have something to tell you"

"What?"

"I got into NYU"

"You did?"

"Yeah"

"I am happy for you!"

"You are?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because I will be living in New York and you will stay here"

"How would you if I come and live with you?"

Brooke looks at him

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah"

Brooke hugs him and kisses him

"Are you sure you wanna do this?"

"I have never been sure of anything in my whole life"
