Everything's Perfect

She's fragile and slender and fading fast So in a voice so tender she asks If I could lend her a helping hand A hand that would end her strive Love is only for poets and dreams are for fools And on all beauty you'll find, time's always cruel If you see what I see then say after me I'll fight my fright, I'll do as you ask tonight Ever since my heart chose to choose her I've known I would lose her but I will excuse her I could never refuse her anything 'Cause I'm not a poet, no, I'm just a fool But the beauty she speaks of Keeps her as the exception to the rule But I see what I see, so I know what it'll be I'll fight my fright and I'll do as she's asked me to do tonight And all will be forgiven, it's from love that I've been driven And time will skip a moment when it's perfect And I'll kiss her lips as she slips away You said you'd die for me, you said you'd die for me So why can't you live for me, why won't you live for me?
