We used to be so close
Staring into eachothers eyes
Just out of highschool, we were so in love
We were young and free
We had our future in our hands  
But your future had other plans

I never wanted to say goodbye
I never wanted to let you go
I never wanted you to say goodbye
I wish you didn't leave
All we have to survive are memories

You returned to me
After a year and six months
We were still so much in love
All though you were home in my arms
You were different, you werent the same
The war had caused you so much pain

I never wanted to say goodbye
I never wanted to let you go
I never wanted you to say goodbye
I wish you never had to leave
All we have to fight are memories

We finally fought through all the pain
The nightmares and dreams
We thought we had forever
Three children, a house
And a diamond on my left hand
But God and cancer had other plans

I never wanted to say goodbye
I never wanted to let you go
I never wanted you to say goodbye
I wish you never had to leave
Now.....All I have left are memories
