This is a time of reckoning
A time to change my life
Because when this night has ended
I will not be the same.

Tomorrow I will be with you
Forever by your side
But tonight is not the same
Without you in my arms.

I told you not to go
Not to worry about tradition
But all you said was
Baby don’t cry I will return tomorrow.

I sat up all night crying
Hoping that it would pass
Because tomorrow was our day
To forge our lives together.

But that night was so long
And so very tragic
That some crazy person
Took you away from me.

I was told to stay strong
And protect my memories
But all I did was fight and cry
Until they killed me.
