We met over wine
In July eightynine
It struck like lightning love
My life had begun
I knew you were the one
But sick came sudden, came soon

I wake up and stare
In your tearful eyes
A kiss on my head
Where the fever thrives
You sit by my bed
Say, it will be fine
Holding your hand
For the last time

Got down on your knee
Made me your bride to be
A kid we did expect
A home full of love
I wish time would have stopped
Cause sick came sudden, came soon

I wake up and stare
In your tearful eyes
A kiss on my head
Where the fever thrives
You sit by my bed
Say, it will be fine
Holding your hand
For the last time

Take me back to July eightynine
To a summer with strawberry wine
Make me run from my final goodbye

I wake up and stare
In your tearful eyes
A kiss on my head
Where the fever thrives
You sit by my bed
Say, it will be fine
Holding your hand
For the last time
