Two simple places
We wanted to go
Two simple things
You wanted to know
Everything around
I could not see
I wish I'd known
How much you loved me
we could feel this way forever
I watched the sun,
cause it touches you while you sleep
You gave me something,
that I wanted to keep
I see you smile you smile like a little child
And hold you crying when it all goes wild
