[Verse] high school sweethearts exploring young love. igniting passions newly found Not knowing this moment would never come again, he laid her down. [Chorus] embracing in his arms, careful as could be. gazing into her eyes-- a beautiful sight to see. Not knowing what will come, breathless without a sound, he laid her down. [Verse 2] nine months later at the hospital, scared he is a dad. his mind racing with anticipation. looking at the daughter he just had, picking her up, holding her near, smirking a smile, glancing around. she stole his heart as he laid her down. [Chorus] embracing in his arms, careful as could be. gazing into her eyes-- a beautiful sight to see. Not knowing what will come, breathless without a sound, he laid her down. [Verse 3] old and gray in the hospital, his life's love is dying in bed shedding a tear, knowing soon, she'd breathe her last breath. grasping tightly in his arms, whispering, "My love you're heaven-bound." thanking her for a caring life of love she gasped one last gasp as he laid her down. [Chorus] embracing in his arms, careful as could be. gazing into her eyes-- a beautiful sight to see. Not knowing what will come, breathless without a sound, he laid her down. [Verse 4] At the graveside, her casket shined. so brokenhearted he could only frown. eyes lighting up remembering good times he laid her to rest, six feet down. he laid her down... [long pause] six feet down... [longer pause] One last time... [almost whispered] he laid her down.
