So I'll just sit here, pretend to count the stars
Just like we did on your dorm room floor
Staring at the ceiling and knowing this couldn't get much better
Every time we thought of happiness it was of you and I together

And my friends all say that
They've never seen me smile so bright in my life
And if I tried, I couldn't replay
That smile that you placed upon my face
It's safe to say: You were my everything
Dana, You were my everything
Just try to be strong
Just try to be strong

Cause these days are so long, and these drinks are so tall
And I've been spending my time counting the minutes
Just to feel consistent
Looking for you in every aspect of the world
There's just no sunset, butterfly or rainbow
That could compare to you, girl

Got our pictures laying out on my bed
And I'm just trying to find the right words to connect
That we travel through live so enriched by the ones that we love
So how could you blame God for wanting to take such a beautiful angel

And my friends all say that
They've never seen me smile so bright in my life
And if I tried, I couldn't replay
That smile that you placed upon my face
It's safe to say: You were my everything
Dana, You were my everything
Just try to be strong
Just try to be strong

Once in love, never felt better
Never thought this would come along
All this time, I never knew better
Now it seems my life's all wrong [x4]

Cause these days are so long, and these drinks are so tall
And I've been spending my time counting the minutes
Just to feel consistent
Looking for you in every aspect of the world
There's just no sunset, butterfly or rainbow
That could compare to you, girl [x3]
