Giving Up What Was For What Is
I fell in love with a beautiful girl,
She soon became not only my world,
But she became my life,
Than my wife,
And now my everything.
I would give up anything, for her!
I would give up my soul,
My past and present,
I would even give up me,
Just to have a future with my lover,
Cause I love her!
