I heard he sang a lullaby
I heard he sang it from his heart
When i found out thought i would die
Because that lullaby was mine
I heard he sealed it with a kiss
He gently kissed her cherry lips
I found that so hard to believe
Because his kiss belonged to me
How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wished i didn't wish so hard
Maybe i wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart
I heard her face was white as rain
Soft as a rose that blooms in may
He keeps her picture in a frame
And when he sleeps he calls her name
I wonder if she makes him smile
The way he used to smile at me
I hope she doesn't make him laugh
Because his laugh belongs to me
Hook
Oh my soul is dying, it's crying
I'm trying to understand
Please help me
