She's fragile and slender and fading fast
So in a voice so tender she asks if I could lend her a helping hand,
A hand that would end her strife
"Love is only for poets & dreams are for fools
And on all beauty you'll find time's always cruel
If you see what I see, then say after me
I'll fight my firight & do as you ask tonight"

Ever since my heart chose to choose her,
I've known I would lose her
But I will excuse her, I could never refuse her anything
Cause I'm not a poet, no I'm just a fool
And the beauty she speaks of keeps her as the exception to the rule
But I see what I see, so I know what it'll be
I'll fight my fright and I'll do as she's asked me to do tonight

All will be forgiven
It's from love that I've been driven
And time will skip a moment where it's perfect
And I'll kiss her lips as she slips away

You said you'd die for me
You said you'd die for me
So why can't you live for me
Why won't you live for me
