We started quickly, in an unconventional way,
Beginning something that would have no end.
Together every moment of every day,
We started quickly, in an unconventional way.
Days were long and never gray,
In the heat of the summer, my body would bend,
We started quickly, in an unconventional way,
Beginning something that would have no end.

We shattered apart in a moment of truth,
Our tears were bitter and full of regret.
With my glass filled with liquor and dry vermouth,
We shattered apart in a moment of truth.
Never dreamed his words could be so mean and smooth,
My mind was blown and I could never forget.
We shattered apart in a moment of truth,
Our tears were bitter and full of regret.

One day exploded with a clear, full light,
Feeling like we could take on the world.
Everything was new and tremendously bright,
One day exploded with a clear, full light.
I renewed my mission and put up my fight,
His fear unfolded and his heart unfurled.
One day exploded with a clear, full light.
Feeling like we could take on the world.

And now he holds my hand with love,
He sleeps by my side when the dark night falls.
I am the hand that fits in his glove,
And now he holds my hand with love.
I say a prayer of thanks to the sky above,
We have broken through the hurdles and walls.
And now he holds my hand with love,
He sleeps by my side when the dark night falls.
