These lyrics are about finding true love, then unfairly loosing it.

It was just a high school dance
Only one night of fun
And when he saw his angel
He knew she was the one
They drove down the road
With love in their eyes
But he cant change what happened
No matter how hard he tries
He wanted to spend forever
Holding her in his arms
He wanted to be her everything
To protect her from all harm
She was his angel
All he could ever have asked for
He wanted to spend eternity with her
Didnt ask for a single moment more
*Now, as he places
A single rose upon her chest
He tries to be strong
Strong for all the rest
But he cant hide the tears
That just start to flow
And he wonders ...
Where did eternity go?*
When the car flipped over
And she was taken away
He cried with the angels
As he does now, everyday
He stands over his angel
He wipes a dried tear off her face
He knows this isnt where they should be
Its just the wrong time
And such a wrong place
*Now, as he places
A single rose upon her chest
He tries to be strong
Strong for all the rest
But he cant hide the tears
That just start to flow
And he wonders ...
Where did eternity go?*
He watches her fade away
Her ashes scatter in the wind
Eternity had ended
Before it could begin
He doesnt hide his tears
He doesnt try to move on
He lingers on the moments
That have tradgically gone
*Now, as he places
A single rose upon her chest
He tries to be strong
Strong for all the rest
But he cant hide the tears
That just start to flow
And he wonders ...
Where did eternity go?*
