about
This is a tribute song to all those that we have lost too soon, but is more of a "celebration" that we had those times together than a sad song. I was able to include some clips of my Dad's voice in the song which was amazing. He would have loved that!!
lyrics
Doing what we can day by day
Influenced by the best in every way
To say that we wish you were here now
As things seem so ill fated
Our paths crossing at the same time
Should be celebrated
I'll spend my life inspired by you
Keeping you close wondering what you'd do
Although I know I never quite can be
As cool as you guided by your memory
To have seen firsthand how you do it
To have seen the way
To have witnessed how to treat people
And to know what to say
In this getting on with things
Sometimes you gotta fight
With everything that you gave me
I'm gonna be alright
I'll spend my life inspired by you
Keeping you close wondering what you'd do
Although I know I never quite can be
As cool as you guided by your memory
We'll keep on speaking your name with a smile
We'll keep on having a laugh like you did
I'm not sad anymore
As much as I'd love to
Do what we used to do
So happy we got to
And I'm guided by you
We'll always wish you were around now
But you still are in a way
With everything that you gave us
We're gonna be OK
Influenced by the best in every way
To say that we wish you were here now
As things seem so ill fated
Our paths crossing at the same time
Should be celebrated
I'll spend my life inspired by you
Keeping you close wondering what you'd do
Although I know I never quite can be
As cool as you guided by your memory
To have seen firsthand how you do it
To have seen the way
To have witnessed how to treat people
And to know what to say
In this getting on with things
Sometimes you gotta fight
With everything that you gave me
I'm gonna be alright
I'll spend my life inspired by you
Keeping you close wondering what you'd do
Although I know I never quite can be
As cool as you guided by your memory
We'll keep on speaking your name with a smile
We'll keep on having a laugh like you did
I'm not sad anymore
As much as I'd love to
Do what we used to do
So happy we got to
And I'm guided by you
We'll always wish you were around now
But you still are in a way
With everything that you gave us
We're gonna be OK
