I've come to terms with the fact That some parts of you I can know but I can't understand But that night in December when we started dating Think I got as close as you can Your mom flew back from Canada and though we just met I felt comfortable holding her hand Skipped all the small talk, went straight to the silence Sat there and prayed for your dad Magazines, fluorescent lights The three of us staying awake through the night Close to me, cramped at the door The doctors and nurses had seen it before Thеy said, "Boy, you should leave, they'll bе fine" I said, "Thanks, that's okay, I'll stay by her side" ♪ We went from practically strangers to permanent lovers It just took a couple of days There were people around in hospital gowns And meals of aluminum trays Thinking 'bout it's terrible losing a parent The worst thing that life puts you through You keep getting coffee and saying you're sorry But you can't do much from that damn waiting room Magazines, fluorescent lights The three of us staying awake through the night Close to me, cramped at the door The doctors and nurses had seen it before They said, "Boy, you should leave, they'll be fine" I said, "Thanks, that's okay, I'll stay by her side"
