Real Life Lyrics
I was young, he was old
we both were the same age
Everyday playing fetch, shaking hands
he'd lick my face
I wasn't aware
The day would come
Then he died
For the first I knew what real pain was
I was never was the same again
From that moment on
Real life began
Senior high, girlfriends
Football games, graduation
Summer break, spend my time
Filling out applications
A few superficial years went by
They were all a blur
In the most unlikely situation
There you were
I never was the same again
From that moment on
Real life began
With you
By your side, scared to death
Felt the pain, you were fighting
Placed my palm on your head
Spoke your name, just keep trying
Then you closed your eyes and took one last breath
When it was over you looked up
Laid our baby across your breast
And I never was the same again
From that moment on
Real life began
we both were the same age
Everyday playing fetch, shaking hands
he'd lick my face
The day would come
Then he died
For the first I knew what real pain was
From that moment on
Real life began
Football games, graduation
Summer break, spend my time
Filling out applications
They were all a blur
In the most unlikely situation
There you were
From that moment on
Real life began
With you
Felt the pain, you were fighting
Placed my palm on your head
Spoke your name, just keep trying
When it was over you looked up
Laid our baby across your breast
From that moment on
Real life began

This song always makes me cry so bad! Espesially the part that goes:
By your side, scared to death Felt the pain, you were fighting Placed my palm on your head Spoke your name, just keep trying
I know it might be about different things, but I'll always think of it as my dog's song.
