REST OF SONG WRITTEN 2-June-2003

Thank you

" If I didn't have someone there,

I'm not sure I'd be able to bare

All the pain;

How am I still sane?

You were there when I needed help

And you didn't just think about yourself.

But is this working out?

This question I could simply shout.

Don't you understand?

My life was bad and bland,

And extremely in the wrong.

Why must you be gone?

I think that I can see the light,

But to get there I'll need to fight.

I can't stand on my own;

So I'll take the path that you've shown.

It was a mistake,

Why didn't you just give me a shake?

I didn't mean to do you wrong,

Please, just listen to this song.

I need you to forgive me

Because without you I wouldn't be.

Oh, please, don't turn away

I've still got more to say.

You've been there since the start.

You've been the one pushing on the cart

To make it go, to make it move.

Why're you leavin' so soon?

I guess I have little time to say

Everything I need to today.

Just stand and listen to this.

I'll do my best

To make it short and sweet

Since out of here you've got to beat.

I want you to know

I'm glad you played with me in the snow;

Tossed the mud when I did;

And when I made a bet, you bid.

You were my friend.

You'll be 'til the end.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll think of you a lot more now that you've gone;

I'm glad to listened to my song.

Let me give you a hug and say

I love you for every day. "
