Then You Said (Create Real Impact)

ROBBIE SAID "I KNOW THIS GIRL, A FRIEND OF JEN'S. SHE'LL MAKE YOUR HEART STOP."SO HOW ABOUT WE MAKE A DATE, OLIVE GARDEN, TONIGHT, SIX O'CLOCK?"
FAST FORWARD TO FIVE FIFTY, I BURIED MY PRIDE AND STEPPED INSIDE
AND SAW YOU THERE ... AND WE LOCKED EYES ...

AND THEN YOU SAID, "HELLO."
AND MY FEET FELL OUT FROM UNDER ME
AND THE WORLD WAS SUDDENLY
SO MUCH BRIGHTER THAN BEFORE
WHEN YOU SAID, "HELLO."

THREE MONTHS FROM THEN, I WOKE UP ON YOUR COUCH...
YOU IN MY ARMS, THEN YOUR LIPS ON MY MOUTH,
"BE WITH ME SARAH-ANN!
I WANT TO WAKE UP EVERY MORNING, KNOWING THAT YOU'RE NEXT TO ME.

AND THEN YOU SAID, "OKAY."
AND MY FEET FELL OUT FROM UNDER ME,
AND THE WORLD WAS SUDDENLY
SO MUCH BRIGHTER THAN BEFORE
WHEN YOU SAID "OKAY."

WE DATED FOR FIVE YEARS.
FIVE YEARS, NO MORE OR LESS
AT SIX O'CLOCK WE SAT AT TABLES, DRESSED OUR VERY BEST
IT SMELLED LIKE GARLIC, OLIVES, AND BREAD
INCANDESCENT LIGHTS ABOVE OUR HEADS
AND I BOUGHT US CHAMPAGNE
AND I DROPPED TO MY KNEES,
"SARAH-ANN, WON'T YOU MARRY ME?"
AND THEN YOU SAID, "I WILL."
AND MY KNEES FELL OUT FROM UNDER ME
AND THE WORLD WAS SUDDENLY
SO MUCH BRIGHTER THAN BEFORE
WHEN YOU SAID, "I WILL."

THE ROADS WERE DRY
WELL-LIT AND BRIGHT
A THOUSAND BILLION STARS IN THE SKY
AND I WAS THERE
BEHIND THE WHEEL
WITH ONE CAR HERE
AND YOU RIGHT HERE.
A SINGLE SWERVE, A SINGLE HIT
A SINGLE SCREAM, JUST ONE MINUTE...

AND THEN YOU SAID, "GOODBYE."
AND THE WORLD FELL OUT FROM UNDER ME
AND THE WORLD WAS SUDDENLY
SO MUCH DARKER THAN BEFORE,
WHEN YOU SAID, "GOODBYE."
WHEN YOU SAID, "GOODBYE."
WHEN YOU SAID, "GOODBYE."
