Story Behind the Song
It's all about the ducks. I'll let Marco write something here when he gets the chance.
Lyrics
I'm remembering the time
When we were both in high school,
And the day that I met you there.
You had flowers in your hair,
I looked at you and you looked at me:
It must have been a match that was made to be.
As thoughts rushed through my head,
All at once my problems went away;
But I still couldn't think of anything to say.
And when I saw you the next day there,
with the same flowers in your hair,
I knew that I was always gonna be too shy
to talk to you, and this would be just another opportunity
to pass me by.
But you called me up that night.
You said that you liked me,
"do you wanna go out tonight and see a movie?"
"That sounds good!"
And remember all those times
we'd walk out to the pond?
We'd sit there and watch the sun go down,
as all the ducks swam by.
I couldn't help but look into your eyes,
and wish the night was never going to end.
Together, you and I,
Time didn't matter, we'd just let it fly right by.
Then it was time
To make a decision in our lives:
"Will you marry me, we'll be together for an eternity,
we'll be so happy!"
And now I'm sitting here
our photo-album in my hands,
it's the only way
I get to see you now.
I'll put the pictures up on the shelf
Why am I left here all by myself?
I can't live...I just can't live this way.
Today I walked out to the park,
I sat down in the same place
where we sat many years ago.
And all the ducks were gone
It's just not the same without you here.
Now death is not something that I fear.
I hope that wherever you are,
I will see you again sometime soon
But until then, in your place,
I have the memories you left behind
to keep me alive
I dedicate this song:
I dedicate this song to you.
