     Than I would ever dare tell you 
     I'd ever dare tell you

     You're more than a small town  
     You're more than a small soul

     Close those pretty eyes, don't look behind 
     What did I tell you?   
     That past is past, don't let it follow you 
     Don't think, that by any day 
     I'll forget your face 
     How could one forget you?
