She walked down the stairs
Not a care in the world
All dressed up
Hair in curls
She waited patiently for him to arrive
It was prom night
But she felt like a bride
The clock kept moving
He still didn't show
Her dress was wrinkled
She was losing her glow
She was angry now
This just couldn't be
How dare he do this to me!
Then outside she heard the sounds
Police and ambulance scrambling around
She saw the car
Two houses away
It was his car
Smashed in the tree
This can't be happening
Not tonight
Not to me
She ran to the scene
Police held her back
They were waiting for the chopper
To take him away
No telling if he'd make it to another day
She stood in shock
such a tragedy
And realizd for the first time
It's not about me*
A night to remember
