You only know my music
|
And liked the things it told you
|
I had no like advantage
|
I had to etch and mold you
|
Out of sketchy bits of data
|
And random brief encounters
|
And now on reefs we can't avoid
|
A special friendship founders
|
And from this lesson I have come to know
|
There are some things I can't delay
|
To speak and share and show
|
|
Say "thank you" for each memory
|
That's added to your store
|
Say please when someone wants to stay
|
And share a little more
|
Say everything you need to now
|
Before it grows too late
|
Say "you're special" to the ones you care for
|
Say "I love you" if you dare
|
For they won't hear "I'm sorry" if you wait
|
|
You're going on a journey
|
And I will someday follow
|
I hope you know your passing
|
Will leave behind a hollow
|
In the lives of those who know you
|
Your memory will shine
|
And I'm proud to say that
|
Thoughts of you will live in hearts like mine
|
Let just this lesson that you've taught to me
|
Go out into the hearts of those who truly hear and see
|
