The Song's Story
The singer borrows his father's car to take his beloved sweetheart/girlfriend out on a romantic date (on a rainy night). Coming across a stalled car in the road the singer swerves to the right to avoid it, losing control and crashing violently in the process. The crash renders both the singer and his girlfriend unconscious. The singer later regains consciousness and finds several people at the scene of the accident, but was able to find his girlfriend, still lying unconscious. When the singer cradles his girlfriend lovingly in his arms, she regains partial consciousness, smiling and asking the singer to "hold me, darling, just a little while." The singer then gives his girlfriend what would be their "last romantic kiss" as she fades into death and enters the afterlife.
In the song's chorus, the singer vows to be a good boy so that he may reunite with his dear lover and girlfriend when his time comes, believing she has made it into Heaven.
