Before I was her King
and she was my queen
We were kids who took flight
On the strawberry swing
Life without a care in the world
Now seems like a fantasy
Back then was our reality

Barely old enough to vote
We registered with the love movement
Got drafted, became soldiers of love
And were deployed into a world of hurt
Leading by example was our weapon of choice
Slowly humanity regained it's self esteem
And showed everyone that pretty smile

We were lucky, we got to love one another
And helped the world love itself
Instead of growing apart
We grew into each other
And that's why it hurts so much
That your illness took you away from me
Without you life is just a waste of time
