lyrics

The lights turn on, the party ends
And I just can’t believe,
She said yes, we danced all night
I swept her off her feet.

One week on, as the movie ends
And the names roll down the screen
I’m struggling with conversation
Popcorn in my teeth.
Five years on she’s dressed in white
Making her way up the aisle
We’ve been together all this time
I can’t believe that she chose me.

I can hear you call
I will guide your fall.

Blowing out candles upon a cake
Our eldest is now three.
She has got her mother’s eyes
Always gets her way with me.
Her younger brothers
Are like no others I have ever seen
Causing trouble by the double
They’d make you laugh and scream.

The lights turn on,
There’s no one home
Except for you and I.
The kids moved on,
Grow up so fast
It’d bring a tear to an eye.
There’s no one but me and you
Fondly drinking wine for two
We stuck together just like glue
Me and you.

Cos I can hear you call
I will guide your fall, your fall
I will guide your fall,
I will guide your fall,
I will guide you,
I will guide you,
I will guide your fall.

Cos I can hear you call
I will guide your fall, your fall

The lights turn off
I’m all alone
I cannot feel a beat
This cannot be happening
This just can’t be real.
