9He never told her what he wanted to say
It was early December, when they first met
The kind of day that you'd never forget
Bright blue eyes and a kryptonite smile
Something about her made him stay just awhile
She told him a story about a small firefly
Told him she'd always wished she could fly
She said her favourite season was spring
And that brownies were her favourite thing
I can see my future in a song, she said
And one chord can light the way ahead
I've always wanted to change the world
Be more than another sad little girl
I hate how sometimes life can be hard
And how it leaves you broken and scarred
New Year's Eve, two thousand and two
The snow was falling and her lips were blue
The streets were quiet but the lights were bright
He can never seem to forget that night
She kissed him and wished him a happy new year
When the snow finally stopped the stars were clear
She lay on her back, the ground was covered in snow
He thought she must be an angel, sent here below
But he never told her that he felt that way
He can remember when she used to say
I can see my future in a song, she said
And one chord can light the way ahead
I've always wanted to change the world
Be more than another sad little girl
I hate how sometimes life can be hard
And how it leaves you broken and scarred
When things got crazy she was down on her knees
Praying to God, she was whispering please
I just need a little help and a guarantee
That I'm still Your child, that You'll watch over me
When he woke up that morning she was already gone
Packed up her suitcase and left before dawn
And then he knew that he'd never forget
The way she smiled, and he'd always regret
He never told her, he never asked her to stay
Alone at night he wished she could hear him say
He could see their future in a song, he said
And one chord could light the way ahead
To change the world was her dream
And she changed his, so it would seem
He hated how sometimes life could be hard
And how it left him broken and scarred
Her name was April, she was born in May
No one has ever asked her to stay
