I don't know you
|
I never met you
|
For laughs I'll call you Sam
|
You were the son
|
Of Mrs. Someone
|
I hope she understands
|
|
Sam you were all that you had
|
Are you happy or sad
|
I never knew you
|
But I'm told you're the best we had
|
|
Were you so tall
|
Did you play Basketball
|
Was there a sweetheart at home
|
Did you write her letters
|
Did it make you better face the great unknown
|
|
Sam did you feel alone
|
You were so far from home
|
I never knew you
|
But I know you're the best man I know
|
|
Could you tell it was time
|
See it coming in the back of your mind
|
When it was over, was it over
|
Sam I'm glad you're on my side
|
|
I don't know you
|
I never met you
|
Can I call you Sam
|
Did you have a son
|
A daughter with a little one
|
I might go and thank Sam you're the best that we have
|
|
You make me happy and sad
|
If you were here, I'd buy the beers
|
I'd shake your hand and say good man
|
And though the sun would shine about the same
|
It's a better world because you came
|
Sincerely yours, my kids will know your name
|
