Love in Five Beats

Ba-dump...
I heard once our eyes met,
I felt as though my heart was caught in a net.
Ba-dump...Ba-dump...
I heard twice as I felt your arms wrapping me,
making me feel so blissful and free.
Ba-dump...Ba-dump...Ba-dump...
I heard thrice, when you asked me to marry,
I felt such happiness that couldn't carry.
Ba-dump...Ba-dump...Ba-dump...Ba-dump...
I heard quadrice as I rocked our baby into sound sleep,
this treasure we both made was ours to keep.
Ba-dump...Ba-dump...Ba-dump...Ba-dump...Ba-dump...
I heard quince, when the doctors felt convinced,
this battle we could not win.

Ba-dump...Ba-dump...Ba-dump...
I heard thrice, I held your hand,
your fingers cold as ice.
Ba-dump...Ba-dump...
I heard twice, you smiled at me pale and white
and said "I will always love you, my wife."
Ba-dump...
I heard once, "I will love you for the rest of my life."
