Tacoma ( /təˈkoʊmə/, US dict: tə·kō′·mə) is a mid-sized urban port city and the county seat of Pierce County, Washington, United States. The city is on Washington's Puget Sound, 32 miles (51 km) southwest of Seattle, 31 miles (50 km) northeast of the state capital, Olympia, and 58 miles (93 km) northwest of Mount Rainier National Park. The population was 198,397, according to the 2010 census. Tacoma is the second-largest city in the Puget Sound area and the third largest in the state. Tacoma also serves as the center of business activity for the South Sound region that has a population of around 1 million people.
Tacoma adopted its name after the nearby Mount Rainier, originally called Mount Tahoma. It is known as the "City of Destiny" because the area was chosen to be the western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad in the late 19th century. The decision of the railroad was influenced by Tacoma's neighboring deep-water harbor, Commencement Bay. By connecting the bay with the railroad Tacoma's motto became "When rails meet sails." Today Commencement Bay serves the Port of Tacoma, a center of international trade on the Pacific Coast and Washington state's largest port.
I just want to live my life for you
Feel your presence was the first thing for me
See my soul, crying this tears for the best friend I had
That I had, I miss you
Waking up this morning and I'm feeling sad and lost
Looking down this bed that will remain so empty
I'll be there all day long I'll take care of you
Save our love, don't look back don't believe what they say
Take my heart away, so far away, it's no
T too late
It's not too late for me
In the clothes, I can see a little shapes of you
Who's to blame, for this shame I'm dressing on
We walk this road without fear
I will deny all these lies
Take my hands and take my life, ride the stars through this night
Can I help you this time
Take my dreams away, so far away, it's not too late
