He promised her the sun
Promised her the moon
Because she was his only one
He never meant to leave so soon
He said she was his whole life
And she'd always have his heart
He wanted her to be his wife
He knew this from the start
In his arms he'd hold her tight
Whisper words so sweet
He'd watch her sleeping through the night
Listen to her heart beat
She never knew a love like this
So real and so sure
Magic in each and every kiss
All that she was waiting for
But life isn't always so kind
Not everything meant to be
And she would soon find
A life she didn't want to see
On a night so dark and cold
Even the angels wept
So many things left untold
To the boy who slept
Because he was her whole world
She promised him the moon
Something broke inside the girl
When death came too soon
Now her tears are plenty
She's lost her smile
It hurts to be so empty
She only had him a little while
She's sure she heard the angels weeping
Heard her own heart break
And now he's gone and sleeping
It feels like more than she can take
