May I say I loved you more?

And you said it would be funny to keep me hanging in suspense,
Then I'd run over to your house and I'd scale the chain-link fence that borders your backyard
And I would climb through your window, and I'd whisper that I loved you
As you fell out of your clothes.
And we'd lay there in the darkness, like the dream of you I had
Where we captured all the fireflies and we knew what time we had could be counted on the fingertips that almost made you cry,
You let me hold you tightly as we said all our goodbyes, and..

May I say I loved you more? May I say I loved you more?

And it must have been and hour that I clutched you in my arms,
And I must have said the right things, because you instantly felt warm
And you heard my heart stop beating, and you warned me not to cry
As your sympathetic whispers, they told a tale of bad goodbyes.
And I swore I saw you laughing, and you swore you saw me smile
And this time we spent together was meant to last us quite awhile
As I take this piece of you with me, I'll carry it to my grave
Knowing that for someone, you're an angel sent to save, and..

May I say I loved you more? May I say I loved you more?

Let's drink to memories we shared; down one, for all the hopes and cares.
Here's two, for being unaware that you're gone,
Because, before too long, you'll be a memory.

I never wanted it to end like this.
I never wanted this to happen.

We were so happy. I walked seven miles to go see him in ninety-five degree weather. And he'd sneak me into his house, and while I was waiting for him to devise the greatest plan in the world to do so, I'd listen to this song. I never thought we'd end up like this.

We did.

before too long, you'll be a memory.
