歌词
(Verse 1)
In a small town by the river, where the willow trees would weep,
Two souls, young and innocent, their secrets they would keep.
A man of strength, a woman fair, their destinies entwined,
He vowed to be her guardian, her heart, forever bind.
(Chorus)
Oh, he was her protector, in his arms, she'd find her grace,
A love as deep as oceans, etched upon his weathered face.
But life can be a cruel, cruel friend, it takes without remorse,
And there came a foe, a shadowed cloud, a cancer's deadly force.
(Verse 2)
Through the years, they'd face the world, its troubles and its strife,
He stood by her, a towering oak, she, the love of his life.
With every storm, they'd find a way, their love stood strong and true,
He'd say, "I'll shield you from it all, there's nothing I won't do."
(Chorus)
Oh, he was her protector, in his arms, she'd find her grace,
A love as deep as oceans, etched upon his weathered face.
But life can be a cruel, cruel friend, it takes without remorse,
And there came a foe, a shadowed cloud, a cancer's deadly force.
(Bridge)
But when the darkness came to call, her body frail and weak,
He'd hold her close, the tears would flow, as shadows kissed her cheek.
And in that moment, love's despair, he'd whisper to the air,
"These arms seemed so strong, why couldn't they save her?"
(Verse 3)
As the seasons changed, their love endured, like the river's endless flow,
But cancer's grip grew ever tight, its pain, she'd come to know.
He watched her suffer, day by day, with a heart that ached so deep,
And in his prayers, he'd often ask, "Why can't we take that leap?"
(Chorus)
Oh, he was her protector, in his arms, she'd find her grace,
A love as deep as oceans, etched upon his weathered face.
But life can be a cruel, cruel friend, it takes without remorse,
And there came a foe, a shadowed cloud, a cancer's deadly force.
(Outro)
Now the story ends, as stories do, in silence and in pain,
He's left alone, with memories, of sunshine, love, and rain.
With tears that fall like bitter rain, he cries to skies above,
"These arms seemed so strong, why couldn't they save her, love?"
