The End....
It's not often that a singer/songwriter can capture a story so completely in their lyrics... but so it was with Lana Del Rey - and an unfolding story in my life.
One day on line and chatting and exchanging link to various web sites... I hit upon a song... and I had to go looking.... after all she was coming to Dublin and this sounded like it summed up our relationship and dreams and maybe just the way we were and would be together.....
Everybody told me I was falling in love
I said, "You would fall too, if you knew what I was dreaming of"
I got the ice - You got the fire
I've got the stuff - To take you higher
Ahhh, that's how you played it
I got the brains - You got the money
This is a race - Let's go fast honey
Ahhh, that's how you played it
Come on pretty baby - I'll be takin' you down
They say you got crazy - Like, all over town
Every time I close my eyes - It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you - Won't be waiting on the other side

And so it was that she arrived and departed. The next time I went looking for the song was when I was making a memorial video.. and I listened to more of her tracks....
Blue jeans, White shirt
Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn
It was like James Dean, for sure
You so fresh to death & sick as ca-cancer
You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop
But you fit me better than my favorite sweater, and I know
That love is mean, and love hurts
But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby!
I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you till the end of time...

OMG I thought as I looked at the photo I had of her in her Blue Jeans and White Shirt... and we had met in December... another tear trickled down my cheek, pooled on my chin before dropping to the ground.
I'm lying in the ocean, singing your song
Ahhh, that's how you sang it
Loving you forever, can't be wrong
Even though you're not here, won't move on
Ahhh, that's how we played it
And there's no remedy for memory your face is
Like a melody, it won't leave my head
Your soul is haunting me and telling me
That everything is fine - But I wish I was dead
But that there's no you, except in my dreams tonight,
Oh oh oh, ha ha ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
There's no relief, I see you in my sleep
And everybody's rushing me, but I can feel you touching me
There's no release, I feel you in my dreams
Telling me I'm fine
Everytime I close my eyes - It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side

Oh How I wish you could just hear the music instead of just reading words.... for there are No Words to explain how I feel, no words of consolation, no concept of how a whole world came crashing down. But this site works no matter what you are searching for... just never wait until it is too late... An Amazing Journey Ends.

A tear runs down my cheek...a love found and lost...
A tear runs down my cheek every day, for not being able to give her everything I wanted.... I miss her awfully, more than words can say.
First time in my life that nothing mattered by two - no problem was insurmountable, no mountain too high to climb... no valley too deep for us not to be able to help each other across to the other side.
Thanks.

Beautiful songs and she has a lovely voice....I can understand why you chose them....so sad. 
The words just seemed so right.... I included them on my video tribute... but time and friendship heals everything (I hope)
