He used to be the sweetest boy around Innocent smile that lit up the town But somewhere the road took a dark curve Now he's lost in a world he don't deserve He'd walk me home when the skies turned gray Held my hand like it'd never betray But now his shadow lingers in the fog A far-off cry of a distant dog And he used to be the sweetest boy Filled my heart with endless joy Now I'm staring at an empty space A ghost of a love I can't replace There were moments we laughed through the night Dancing in a circle under the moonlight But whispers caught him like a silent thief Now he's just an echo of disbelief I keep his letters in a box so deep Where memories lie and secrets keep Pages worn from the tears I've shed Reading words from a love long dead And he used to be the sweetest boy Filled my heart with endless joy Now I'm staring at an empty space A ghost of a love I can't replace
