and his beautiful lover (17)______________ everyday with tears

November 1st was the last time she cried
thinking he'd be coming home but all she heard was that he'd died.
She was told he was a brave young man
But it was news his young lover just, she just couldn't understand.

So she drowned her sorrow and her soul, the only way she knew how

He knew seeing her wouldn't happen with just tears
So he decided to wait for her, like she had done for all those years

So they could dance together, for just this one day,
Holding hands with his calavera on El Dia de la muerte

Won't you (26)__________ with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we (27)________ is just today
Until my bones just (28)________ away.
