Real Life

I was young, he was old, we both were the same ageEveryday playin? fetch, shaking hands, he?d lick my faceand I was unaware the day would comeAnd when he died, for the first time I knew what real pain wasCHORUS: And I never was the same againFrom that moment on, real life beganSenior high, girlfriends, football games, graduationSummer break, spent my time, fillin? out applicationsA few superficial years went by, they were all a blurThen in the most unlikely situation, there you wereCHORUS:And I never was the same againFrom that moment on, real life beganWith you, with youBy your side, scare to death, felt the pain you were fightingPlaced my palm on your head, spoke your name, just keep tryin?And then you closed you eyes and took one last breathAnd when it was over, you looked up, I laid our baby across your breastChorus:And I never was the same againFrom that moment on, Real Life began
