I'm 61 years old and I just lost my wife of 25 years on Dec. 23, 2012 to an unexpected aneurysm. I'm not ashamed to say this song has made me cry like a baby for the last three hours. I can only hope it her in some way telling me not to grieve for her anymore.
This song is a perfect example as too why I love this band. Their songs are so beautiful, and so full of meaning. I love the story to this song, and no matter how many times I replay it, it always brings tears to my eyes.
If I were this guy talking in the story, I wouldn't regret finding the love of my life and having a son with her. Having amazing memories, having lived, having found the one and then having a beautiful son is so much better than breathing and never finding love. Sure there's pain after she dies but it's so much more worth than never finding love and true happiness, you know?:P
Before listening to the song I was thinking adoption but after listening to this beautiful work of art I realized he said that she had two "MORE" weeks to live. Just to clarify that for you.
I think the concept of this song could make a great movie... But then, How I Met Your Mother popped into my head. So then I just forgot about the rest of the world, and cried because of the lyrics. Again.
"So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose. If you're given the choice, I'm begging you chose to walk away, walk away. Don't let it get you. I can't bare to see the same happen to you." --Got to me....
THIS IS THE ONLY SONG THAT MAKES ME CRY EVERY SINGLE TIME I LISTEN TO IT ITS SO HEARTBREAKING AND BEAUTIFUL AND SAD AND LOVELY AND GLOOMY AND MAGICAL AND TRAGIC :')
Where does he say that they only knew each other for a few weeks? There is no clear passage of time in this story, it's not said how long passed between their initial meeting, getting married, and her telling him that she's dying. The 'weeks' portion was in reference to how long she had left, not how long they had known each other.
I have a theory that she got sick while she was pregnant and like maybe she passed away after giving birth or, she had to have a c-section, and she passed when their son was very young.
She died within weeks, yes, but that doesn't mean they didn't create a family before all that. The song hints that they were probably together for a long time beforehand.
I looked this song up cause my girlfriend wanted me to. I tried to learn it on guitar....I only got to the bridge....I couldnt keep playing...This is really emotional
I use to sing this to every night to the love of my life to make her fall asleep, Then she cheated on me, Now i still sing it every night but i cry while doing it.
By the time I was your age, I'd give anything To fall in love truly, was all I could think That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams The most beautiful woman, that I'd ever seen She said, "Boy, can I tell you a wonderful thing? I can't help but notice, you're staring at me. I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe, I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me." Now, son, I'm only telling you this Because life can do terrible things. Now, most of the time we'd have too much to drink And we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything Too young to notice, and too dumb to care Love was a story that couldn't compare. I said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing? I made you a present with paper and string. Open with care now, I'm asking you, please. You know that I love you, will you marry me?" Now, son, I'm only telling you this Because life can do terrible things You'll learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll pray, That God shows you differently. She said, "Boy, can I tell you a terrible thing? It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks. Please, don't be sad now, I really believe, You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me." Slow, so slow I fell to the ground on my knees. So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose If you're given the choice, then I beg you to choose To walk away, walk away, don't let her get you. I can't bear to see the same happen to you. Now, son, I'm only telling you this Because life can do terrible things

Before listening to the song I was thinking adoption but after listening to this beautiful work of art I realized he said that she had two "MORE" weeks to live. Just to clarify that for you.
This song sounded so sweet, and when he sung about her getting sick, I'm like "Hold back the tears!" :'(
What A Beautiful Song
besides "Oh well Oh well" this is one of their best songs ever!
wow this song is so beautiful
I think the concept of this song could make a great movie...
But then, How I Met Your Mother popped into my head. So then I just forgot about the rest of the world, and cried because of the lyrics. Again.

Heard this song for the first time live. I cried. And I didn't care who saw me.

"So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose. If you're given the choice, I'm begging you chose to walk away, walk away. Don't let it get you. I can't bare to see the same happen to you." --Got to me....

:'( omg I said I wasn't going to cry :'( beautiful song

Dude i just freaking teared this is fucking beautiful
If you son't cry, listening to this song, then something's wrong with you.
The kid was obviously born already and she passed after the birth. Its him telling his son the story on how he met his mom.
drowns in flood of tears
Its ok.. Im already crying from all the song i listened today :'(
Where does he say that they only knew each other for a few weeks? There is no clear passage of time in this story, it's not said how long passed between their initial meeting, getting married, and her telling him that she's dying. The 'weeks' portion was in reference to how long she had left, not how long they had known each other.
It wasn't in a few weeks darling, it was over the course of years. He didn't have forever to just be singing.
.
How come no one is actually commenting about this wonderful song?
mayday parade, i love you
I have a theory that she got sick while she was pregnant and like maybe she passed away after giving birth or, she had to have a c-section, and she passed when their son was very young.
I came here by just linking and after listening this song, I was sitting in front of my computer with tears all over my face.. :|
the feels
How i do for don't cry listening it?
Same here, and that's so true :')
I want to cry.
Absolutely
She died within weeks, yes, but that doesn't mean they didn't create a family before all that. The song hints that they were probably together for a long time beforehand.
Yes. I really wanted to cry tonight. How did you know? [kicks a table]
"so don't fall in love there's just too much to lose" - sad but mostly true isn't it :(
I think he's talking about his first love, which is probably not his son's mom. But, who knows! It's a great song :)
I looked this song up cause my girlfriend wanted me to. I tried to learn it on guitar....I only got to the bridge....I couldnt keep playing...This is really emotional
I use to sing this to every night to the love of my life to make her fall asleep, Then she cheated on me, Now i still sing it every night but i cry while doing it.
Awwwww, what? Great now I'm crying.
holy shit this song made me weep. :(
i cried....
By the time I was your age, I'd give anything
To fall in love truly, was all I could think
That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams
The most beautiful woman, that I'd ever seen
She said, "Boy, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I can't help but notice, you're staring at me.
I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe,
I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me."
Now, son, I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things.
Now, most of the time we'd have too much to drink
And we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything
Too young to notice, and too dumb to care
Love was a story that couldn't compare.
I said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I made you a present with paper and string.
Open with care now, I'm asking you, please.
You know that I love you, will you marry me?"
Now, son, I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things
You'll learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll pray,
That God shows you differently.
She said, "Boy, can I tell you a terrible thing?
It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.
Please, don't be sad now, I really believe,
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."
Slow, so slow I fell to the ground on my knees.
So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose
If you're given the choice, then I beg you to choose
To walk away, walk away, don't let her get you.
I can't bear to see the same happen to you.
Now, son, I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things
lay down. try not to cry. cry a lot.
I'm pretty sure it was a time-lapse. A few years after marriage.
Oh my Goood, the song is very beautiful, it's amazing and so 'cute' but when she said that she is sick, oh my God çç
The feels T.T
i can picture my fiance singing this song to our children...at least the first part...
:'( as soon as it said the girl only had a few more weeks i started crying like crazy :'(
I had this same question! o: XD
the child was born after they were married..and then months or so later she got cancer...and then died a few weeks after telling him
THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL I M FUCKING CRYING I M GOING TO DROWN MYSELF INTO CHOCOLATE T_T
I don't even like Nicholas Sparks books, and that one was good! :)
Them fucking feels.
I cried. I admit it.
I just...just....raping the repeat button as i bawl my eyes out. WHY IS IT SO SAD AND CATCHY!?! :"(
they crash around you?
and now for the manly tears..
Agreed.
How did JJ Demon bring me here....o_O
Epic song but description fail lol; "I dont not own this song"
This is the theme song for Alex and Carly from Safe Haven
... He didn't say she died within weeks... It said that she only had weeks left to live.
