I was young he was old

We both were the same age

Everyday playing fetch

Shaking hands

He'd lick my face

And I was unaware the day would come

When he died for the first time

I knew what real pain was

I never was the same again

From that moment on real life began

Senior high girlfriends

Football games graduation summer break

Spend my time filling out applications

A few superficial years went by

They were all a blur

And in the most unlikely situation

There you were yeah

I never was the same again

From that moment on real life began

With you with you by her side scared to death

Felt the pain you were fighting

Placed my palm on your head

Spoke your name just keep trying

And then you closed your eyes

Took one last breath

When it was over you looked up

I laid our baby accross your breast

I never was the same again

From that moment on real life began
