Driving home late one night when I came across a scene
There was a girl lying bleeding by the side of the road
She had written off her car, she had skidded off the road
The other passenger was trapped in the wreckage

I'll hold you gently, I'll keep you safe from harm
I'll be your lasting mem'ry, as you die in my arms

So I held her in my arms, as the ambulance arrived
It was too late, 'cos by now there was nothing could be done
And I always will remember that look upon her face
I learned later she was only seventeen

I'll hold you gently, I'll keep you safe from harm
I'll be your lasting mem'ry, as you die in my arms

I'll hold you gently, I'll keep you safe from harm
I'll be your lasting mem'ry, as you die in my arms
