[Intro-violin upbeat solo] oooh ooooh oh [Verse] they were high school sweethearts exploring young love excitement filled the air as their clothes hit the ground not knowing this feeling would never come again he walked her to the bed and he laid her down. [Chorus] he held her in his arms careful as he could be he looked her in the eyes what a beautiful view to see not knowing what's to come he held his breath, didn't make a sound he gave her a beautiful sweet kiss, and he laid her down. [Verse 2] nine months later at the hospital he was scared as hell to be a dad his heart and mind raced with anticipation he looked at his daughter and thought about what he had had as he picked her up to hold her near he smirked a smile and looked around this sleeping beauty that he helped create, stole his heart as he laid her down. [Chorus] [Verse 3] now old and gray at the hospital the love of his life was dying in bed he shed a tear knowing that soon she'll breathe her last breath, he held her tight in his arms whispered to his love she's heaven bound he thanked her for a life of such caring love as she gasped a gasp and he laid her down. [Chorus] [Verse 4] at the graveside her casket shined, he was so broken hearted he could only frown his eyes lit up as he remembered the good times as he laid her to rest, six feet down. as he laid her down, six feet down. one last time... he laid her down. [Outro-funeral piano music solo]
