Grady
Remembering back through the years
Of when we were younger it brings me to tears
Memories are all I have left of you now
And a few shattered photos that show when and how
We laughed and loved, we shared our lives
We were so young and thought we’d never die.
You were the one, who made me smile
You could make me laugh, when it’d been a while
There was nothing that you couldn’t do
And I always knew that I could count on you
I felt so safe when you were near
I knew with you close I had nothing to fear
You took care of your friends when they needed you most
I even felt close to you when I was out on the coast.
We lost touch and our lives moved on
But our friendship remained, it was never gone
I will always hope and pray you knew
How much I loved and cared for you.
You’ve been taken away and now you’re gone
And I keep hearing that I have to move on
I don’t know how to say good-bye,
With so much regret and sorrow inside
If I could go back and see you again
I’d want to just sit and talk to my friend
Tell you about me and to hear about you
There are so many things that we never knew
Like my time on the ship or your facial hair
Your getting engage, I wasn’t aware
I have lots of stories that I’d like to tell
And hear some yours that you have as well
I know I will not get to look in your eyes
Until it’s my turn to say good-bye
And when that days comes and I leave this place
I will once again see that handsome face
You’ll welcome me home as you smile at me
And those beautiful eyes I’ll get to see
We’ll laugh and talk about the past
Friends again, together at last
But until then you’ll be in my heart
Always together, never apart
I miss you Grady, I always will
And though you’re gone I love you still
