V1:
started off as kids meet little tommy and cindy lou/ little tommys first day of class, and now cindy can tie her shoes/ cuz tommy taught her too- in his front yard right before school/
she giggled and ran next door, hey mommy look what i can do/ how cute, everyday they'd play mom and dad/ he'd rather cops and robbers but he didn't wanna make her sad/

or see her cry- didn't know why, he'd just hate to see it/ to young to understand they were best friends, almost like she completed/
him- and he, her- a perfect pair, call'em speakers, sneakers, both or neither
elementary flew fast, end of middle school: he kicked some kids $$#/ touch her again i'll break ya back with ya knee caps/

their first kiss was a dare for him; for her: a wish/ bliss, even though the first shot fired missed/ she ate it up, this puppy love that filled her gut/
but- before she told'em she loved him & tha reasons/ a broken home means he's gotta leave her she pleads wit'em dn't go but we know that momma gettin custody -
"sorry Cindy, its better to just forget me...outta my way"/ gets in the car she tells'em "wait! scrambles to scribble a note that he didn't read till he rode away/ heart broke at what she had to say

chorus:
i don't wanna forget you, i jus wanna be with you-
god im gonna miss you- hate that ya goin', wish you could take my soul- away with you-

i'll try not to hold it against you, but here's the issue: i don't wanna live through this world without you-
who's gonna show me how to?
listen to all the reasons i need you, to many just to list a few...no time? guess i'll be missin you

every day ur away swear this is true- swear this is true- I'll be missin you -

10 yrs down tha road, last yr Tom was 24, feelin a little old, wonderin what he got to live for/ his dad killed himself- drawers fulla self-help- books/ every woman since his mom took everything he ever knew now look at'em

& how often he sits thinkin bout Cindy Lou
'course Cindys all alone too- had all the wrong dudes/ last one would treat her like he didn't need her and beat her blue/
only man she could easily trust was jesus, ya he'd see her through

so it was no mistake the day that Tom seen her face/ wasn't sure if it was her at first till she smiled at'em/
that smile. call it fate- anything but fake/ it was meant to be a symphony jus waiting to be played/ and they played and played for days- for the first time since she was 14, Cindy could finally breath/ and Tom could finally see
his reason for being : she needed him like a bird needs to sing greetings to bring the spring season in/

right away he chose to propose and that was that/ they made a pact to never look back- just let the past be the past/ lets see what the future holds- her eyes water at the alter as reads part of the vows he wrote/

there oldest kid gotta kid of her own/ their youngest wanted to be alone now he worried about student loans/
well not that worried come to think about it/ if dad dnt help him out, he know momma got it/
and dad wont really fuss, he never saw'em fight/ truth is they never did, to busy living & loving life/

some things stay tha same- 40 yrs failed to change/ the feeling they felt when they were boutta quarter of their age/
and it was all gain & no pain until the time came/ for tha pain to shower down like the rain did that day/ Tom tried to hit the breaks but it was too late/ their life together flashed before his face and boy was it great/
all he remembers next is opening his eyes, Cindy laying next to him on the verge off dying now all he can do is cry/ wait, babe, 'fore you go there's something u need to hear/ he leaned in and whispered softly in her ear/

chorus:
I'll Never forget you, i was made to be with you-
I'll hate when I miss you- baby dont go, and if you do, take my soul- away with you-

i would never hold it against you but here's the issue: i could never live through a moment without you-
please show me how to
listen boo- i'm in love for way to many reasons just to list a few - i'd rather die than be missin you

cuz missin you feels like i'm missing truth- am i alive? feels like i'm missing proof...swear this is true
I'll Never forget you, i was made to be with you-
I'll hate when I miss you- baby dont go, and if you do, take my soul- away with you-

i would never hold it against you but here's the issue: i could never live through a moment without you-
please show me how to
listen boo i'm in love for way to many reasons just to list a few...no time? guess i'll be missin you

every day ur away swear this is true- swear this is true- I'll be missin you
