Daniel

I still remember the day that we met

Your handsome smile I could never forget

You were so funny, so loving and true

I knew right away I was falling for you

You had a heart that was ready to share

And I saw my whole future standing right there

They tell you forever is a beautiful thing

A promise you keep on a golden ring

But forever ain't exactly what people say

Because love will always change its way

When the dust finally settles and the picture is plain

Somebody is always left with the pain

And Daniel, that's me

You didn't have to take us as your own

But you stepped right up and you anchored this home

You loved my children like a father should do

I saw a family man shining in you

We built up a life from the love that we gave

I thought it was something that nothing could break

They tell you forever is a beautiful thing

A promise you keep on a golden ring

But forever ain't exactly what people say

Because love will always change its way

When the dust finally settles and the picture is plain

Somebody is always left with the pain

And Daniel, that's me

Thirty-two years of you by my side

A whole lot of living, a whole lot of pride

Now I'm looking back at a love that was strong

And I still don't know, Daniel, what went wrong

I search through the memories, I search through the tears

Wondering how we just lost all those years

Now you're somewhere else making a brand new life

Leaving behind all our history and your wife

My heart is broken but my love's still there

Just talking to ghosts in your empty chair

I wake up alone in the cold morning chill

And I have to accept that I love you still

But forever ain't exactly what people say

Because love will always change its way

When the dust finally settles and the picture is plain

Somebody is always left with the pain

Yeah, love always changes and leaves in the night

And I'm left alone in the fading light

Somebody is always left with the pain

And Daniel, that's me
