With skin so fair
As pale as the moon
With a flower in her hair
Her friends gathered 'round
To celebrate this day
Without a cloud in the sky
The sun on her face
A man began to speak
To the crowd that came by
To give honor to this woman
Who is still as she lies
A leaf began to fall
From the tree branch above
As the speaker told everyone
A story of love
She was his daughter
He only had one
With his only wife
A love that never came undone
What he does not know
Is that the girl was in love too
To a man never met over seas
From some site on the tube
I loved her to death
Never to see her die
And now I feel more alone
And left wondering, "Why?"
