All I Ever Meant To Do Was Love You
[Verse 1]
All I ever meant to do was love you
Losing you had never crossed my mind
When they passed out the love that lasts forever
I guess I wasn't standing in the line

[Chorus]
I stood and watched you blowing out the candles
Reminding me of how things used to be
I stood and watched you blowing out those memories
Tomorrow wasn’t meant for you and me

[Verse 2]
All I ever meant to do was love you
All I ever meant to do was care
We laughed and played a game we're now regretting
Now you can laugh alone 'cause I’m not there

[Chorus]
I stood and watched you blowing out the candles
Reminding me of how things used to be
I stood and watched you blowing out those memories
Tomorrow wasn't meant for you and me
