So sweet and sentimental

I've liked him for what seemed like forever
i can't believe whats going on
we dance so perfect together
swaying to this slow love song

i leaned trusting in his arms
wondering what he thought
then i watched him lean forward
my breath had caught

his lips met mine
so soft and gentle
this first kiss of ours
so sweet and sentimental

and we were friends
through the years
through the anger
through the tears

i asked if he was mine
if we were "official"
i waited impatiently
for my dismissal

i thought he'd turn me down
i couldn't believe what he said
"you are my one, my only,
till God strikes me dead..."

and he held my hand
so soft and gentle
that first love of mine
so sweet and sentimental

and we stayed together
through the years
through the anger
through the tears

we lay there in bed
he's holding me so tight
that slow love song playing
it felt like the perfect night

i love him so much
i know he loves me
i kissed him softly and said,
"your my mine, my one, my only"

we made love that night
so soft and gentle
that first night of ours
so sweet and sentimental

and me stayed together
through the years
through the anger
through the tears

i looked at him with tears in my eyes
he's down on one knee
he kissed my hand and asked,
"Will you be mine, my one, my only?"

we stood at the alter
we bound together
we were man and wife
we were bound forever

we made love that night
so soft and gentle
that first night as man and wife
so sweet and sentimental

and we stayed together
through the years
through the anger
through the tears

I'm laying in the hospital
he holds my hand tight
he kisses my temple softly
saying "don't give up this fight."

i scream out in pain
then i hear a cry
our sweet baby boy
in my arms he lies

we held him together
so soft and gentle
that first child of ours
so sweet and sentimental

and we stayed together
through the years
through the anger
through the tears

i kiss his cold cheek for the last time
knowing he's watching over me
quietly i whisper into his deaf ear,
"your mine, my one, my only"

i was alone for the first time
everything was so cold
without him here with me
without him to hold

it was so fast
so soft and gentle
that death of mine
so sweet and sentimental
