1,000 Years

My favorite of the songs I wrote for PBnJ, but I'm still on the fence about peforming it next week. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on it, but when I changed that last verse, the entire song gets super depressing and it won't really fit the tone of the evening. Thoughts? Suggestions? Maybe I could sing the original really happy ending it originally had?

Do you remember?
Back last December
I stood so nervously
I met you in a parking lot, I didn’t dare move from that spot
And I hugged you for what felt like a thousand years

Do you remember?
That day in the winter
I smiled so nervously
It was cold more than we could bear
And you looked in my eyes and I could see as far as an eternity

And you, you pulled the strings to my heart
And I, I let you we’d never be apart

Yes I remember
Way back late summer
I spoke so nervously
I got the courage and cleared my throat
And I sat on one knee for what felt like a thousand years

And you, you pulled the strings to my heart
And I, I let you we’d never be apart

But now it’s over
And I still remember
Waiting for you to call my name
But you won’t open, your voice anytime soon
And here I’ll sit and wait for you for a thousand years
