When you say
You love the way I make you feel
Everything becomes so real
Don't be scared, no, don't be scared
Cause you're all I need

And you still look perfect as days go by
Even the worst ones, you make me smile
I'd stop the world if it gave us time

Cause when you love someone
You open up your heart
When you love someone
You make room
If you love someone
And you're not afraid to lose 'em
You probably never loved someone like I do
You probably never loved someone like I do

All my life
I thought it'd be hard to find
The one, 'til I found you
And I find it bittersweet
Cause you gave me something to lose

But when you love someone
You open up your heart
When you love someone
You make room

If you love someone
And you're not afraid to lose 'em
You probably never loved someone like I do
You probably never loved someone like I do
You probably never loved someone like I do

"I wonder when they'll get engaged." I say as I look at my youngest daughter look at her girlfriend.

"Oh I bet they just wake up one morning and get married." Anastasia says then I watch Freya touch some soda to her scar making me sigh.

"I'm still so angry we didn't see the signs of what Ben was doing to her earlier." I say.

Freya's father and Anastasia and I's ex-husband is the one who gave Freya the scar on her face.

When we saw what Ben did, Anastasia and I kicked him out.

The day after we kicked him out, Ben was killed.

"I know." Anastasia says. "But we can't change it now so we just have to make sure our babies know we love them."

"Mama please don't cry with this one." Freya says then the instrumental part of the song plays.

"Oh shit." I mumble.

This song was Anastasia's Mom's favorite song.

"I'll be good." Anastasia says as Freya starts singing.

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life on stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you

I know your image of me is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
And darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby can't you see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you

You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love, withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
Now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
Cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you

We were alone and I was singing this song to you
We were alone and I was singing this song, singing this song to you

"WHEW." Sophia cheers as I notice Freya's dogs are now laying next to my wife and I.

"Hi doggies." I say as I look at the pack of dogs.

"This last one is a surprise for my Mom." Freya says causing me to look at her like a confused puppy. "I put my own twist on one of your songs."

"Oh so she's gonna make me cry." Anastasia says as Freya grabs her guitar.

"I wonder what song it is." I mumble then I listen to my daughter sing and play guitar.

Your love is bright as ever
Even in the shadows
Baby, kiss me
Before they turn the lights out
Your heart is glowing
And I'm crashing into you
Mmmh baby, kiss me, kiss me
Before they turn the lights out
Before they turn the lights out
Oh, baby, love me lights out

In the darkest night, I'll
I'll search through the crowd
Your face is all that I see
I'm giving you everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out

Oh, we don't have forever
Baby, daylight's wasting
You better kiss me
Before our time has run out, oooooh
Nobody sees what we see
They're just hopelessly gazing
Oh, baby, take me, take me
Before they turn the lights out
Before time has run out
Oh, baby, love me lights out

In the darkest night, I'll
I'll search through the crowd
Your face is all that I see
I'm giving you everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
Oh, you can turn my lights out

I love you like XO
You love me like XO
You kill me girl XO
You love me like XO
Is all that I see
Giving you everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
You can turn my lights out

Oh, in the darkest night, I'll
I'll search through the crowd
Your face is all that I see
I'm giving you everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
Oh, you can turn my lights out

"Well that's officially her song now." I say as I clap.

"Our babies are so talented." Anastasia says.

"Yes they are my love." I say. "Yes they are."
