Life ticks away
Like numerals dragging by
Leaving nothing to say
Nothing is clear why
But it started forty years ago
When I was young and green
It was strange if I say so
I was only seventeen
I didn't want to go with her
It seemed to last to long
But looking back passed in a blur
So I'll sing my song
My story, no, our faerie tale
I didn't want to do the play
My conscious she did nail
So even to this day
I'm glad for that after-school hour
Things are always different
So at the time it seemed luck was sour
She stole my heart without consent
In that play practice every day
I started to fall in love so soon
She always knew what to say
To me she was the stars and moon
But then she gave me the news on day
I nearly died when she told me
Now in a casket she will lay
So her true heart then I could see
I appreciate the days I spent
But still she took my hand
I admit my heart was lent
And she slipped through my fingers like sand
My Jamie, cancer was her curse
Still she held her Bible tight
There could be nothing worse
Than loosing her that night
But she taught me about true love
It started back that September
And I believe she was sent from above
To take me on a walk to remember
