Initials on a Tree (Reimagined)

Now I find myself again
Thinking of way back when

You caught my eye and pulled me in
And my life began

But in a sudden twist of fate
I got to you too late
And now these memories
Fall into place

I never knew this would be
The final time you'd wake up next to me

You open your eyes
And I see oceans
And the stars collide

Remember the time
You promised not to leave?

I look in your eyes
And I still see you in that dress you wore
Like initials on a tree

You'll always be that way to me

A hospital bed, you fade away
The curtain hides no tears

None of the pain could ever change
All the love and years

Something you need I have in me
Remove and relocate
Anything for God to let you stay

I could never knew this would be
The final time you'd wake up next to me

You open your eyes
And I see oceans
And the stars collide

Remember the time
You promised not to leave?

I look in your eyes
And I still see you in that dress you wore
Like initials on a tree

You'll always be that way to me

And you saved me
In ways I can't describe
In return this is a small sacrifice

Not everything goes exactly to the plan
But I promised to protect you until the end

Until the end

You open your eyes
And you feel the life return again

Remember the time
You promised not to leave?

I gave you my life
'Cause I still held you to that promise made
Like initials on a tree

You'll always have a part of me
