The Most Beutiful Lie

I first met you in a bar, After I admired your car We were both so young and free, I just wanted you to notice me. As we danced to and fro, You said that I should know, That you never wanted to let me go The most beautiful lie, Was when you promised to never make me cry That you would be with me for forever and a day That you would stay, for now and always The most beautiful lie, Was when you promised never to say good-bye That you would always come back to me I don’t want to believe the truth that I see On our wedding day, You said you’d be beside me in every way As we danced to and fro, You said you would never let me go Through sickness and health, Through poorness and wealth, That we would be together, For always and forever The most beautiful lie, Was when you promised to never make me cry That you would be with me for forever and a day That you would stay, for now and always The most beautiful lie, Was when you promised never to say good-bye That you would always come back to me I don’t want to believe the truth that I see On our honeymoon, You said forever was a day too soon, So for forever and a day, We’d be together for now and always You said we would tour the seven seas, Just you and me You promised that for the rest of your life, You’d make me proud to be your wife The most beautiful lie, Was when you promised to never make me cry That you would be with me for forever and a day That you would stay, for now and always The most beautiful lie, Was when you promised never to say good-bye That you would always come back to me I don’t want to believe the truth that I see You left me on a sunny day, Saying we’d be together for now and always But now I’m wearing your wedding band, Holding a folded flag in my hand As they lower your casket in the ground, Our son doesn’t make a sound He salutes you as we say goodbye Tears cloud my eyes as I start to cry The most beautiful lie, Was when you promised to never make me cry That you would be with me for forever and a day That you would stay, for now and always The most beautiful lie, Was when you promised never to say good-bye That you would always come back to me I don’t want to believe the truth that I see The most beautiful lie, Was when you promised to never make me cry
