he paused to stand

all who were watching
did not speak

and through his mind
the memories ran

but now her eyes were so terribly cold

they watched in silence
as he bent near

he touched her face and started to cry
as he put on his ring and wanted to die

this is what happens
to man alive

as he took his class ring
off her hand

as a silent tear
ran down his cheek

of the moments they walked
and ran in the sand (hand and hand)

for he would never again
have her to hold

and whispered the words
"I LOVE YOU" in her ear

and just then the wind began to blow
as they lowered her casket
into the snow

when friends let friends
drink and drive
