i love you, and i don't know why, so i won't try to explain it or contain it.
all of you is all of my hope on this planet. you're my world, and i've gotta hand it to you.
the doctors say you're gonna die and there ain't a thing they can do, no matter how they try, but darlin, i don't believe their lies. you're gonna be fine. i'm gonna see to it.

there's some way to save you, cos I know how brave you are. you're a shining star in the dark night sky. yeah, you got a light in your eyes that will shine for a million years or more. yeah, you're gonna stay right here with me.

i don't care what those bastards say. we'll beat this the way we beat homelessness and poverty and unemployment. so they can all go get bent, cos we're gonna win, yeah, you're gonna win.

there's some way to heal you, cos i just don't feel that you are what they say you are, a hopeless body with no future in this world.

i love you, and your son saw me crying last night, but he don't know what i know, no, no one does. you're a buzzing tornado. your body is strong, with your eyes full of life and your heart full of song. they say you can't make it, we'll show them how wrong they are.

time can do what he likes.i know he's on our side.
time will pass us by. you'll grow old by my side.

i won't take no for an answer. i won't take no for an answer. and i don't claim to know what God's plans are, but i ain't takin no for no answer. no no no.
