Ethan, when'd you get so beautiful? Your brother was a friend of mine I knew him back before he ever joined the army You have his blue eyes This was back in 1998 The only thing we knew was time We'd hit up every bar from here to Chula Vista He only drank wine He used to sing karaoke like a freight train You should've seen him hit those highs One time he got real drunk and sang "Surrender" Cross my heart, he made the whole bar cry And every girl wished that he would want to dance But he never seemed to know he had the chance That was part of what made him such a hero See, he never knew he was Do you believe that I'd ever lie to you? His voice was a kind of smile, he could shake it and move rooms I know that the last day of his life is known as his finest But the truth is the greatest thing he did Were all the times he stopped and shook his head, and said: "I'm gonna marry that girl" Let's sing "Surrender" I'll take the low parts If you promise me that you will take the highs Aus Songtexte Mania
