[intro]
Liz and Dan were sweethearts
They met in Junior High
He worshiped her, she adored him
There would be no other guy.
When they grew up they planned to be married
Planned each detail of that day
Dan wanted to serve his country first
And fate stepped in the way.
After high school he joined the Army
Soon he was shipped to Iraq
He told Liz to plan their wedding day
On the day that he’d be back.
Liz picked out her wedding gown
She found a perfect fit
Two days before Dan’s flight was booked
He took a major hit.
Chorus
And her tears drop down, they fall like rain
Only widows, mothers and lovers…….
Can understand the pain.
Liz visited Dan at Walter Reed
He didn’t know her name
This man she loved was a stranger
He’d never be the same.
She cried when they cancelled their wedding day
Her gown hangs on the rack
She sits with him every Sunday
Praying Dan will return from Iraq.
Chorus
And the tears drop down, they fall like rain
Only widows, mothers and lovers……..
Can understand the pain
And the tears drop down, they fall like rain
Only widows, mothers and lovers……..
Can understand the pain
Only widows, mothers and lovers……..
Can understand the pain
