You taught me how to ride a bike
Tie my shoes and fly a kite
How to swim, and how to fish
To see a star and make a wish
Said its okay to make mistakes
Just dont get stuck in yesterday
Forgive, forget, and move ahead
Because life is what you make of it
Now Youre gone, and all I have
Are memories I hold deep
But if Im quiet, I hear youre voice
Still ringing in my ears
Saying live with no excuses
Love with no regrets
Laugh a lot and leave this life
With nothing left unsaid
Make this world a better place
Dont be afraid to cry
And when its finally time, to say goodbye
Nothing to prove, nothing to lose
Nothing to hide
You see, life can not be measured by
The place you live, the car you drive
The thing that counts the day you die
Is who you are, and whats inside
So tell the truth, dont ever lie
Integrity at any price
Your words, your bond, your highest price
So guard it close, and live your life
So many things, I learned from you
Bout life and love and play,
But I learned more by how you lived
Then what I heard you say
So I live with no excuses
And I love with no regrets
I laugh a lot, and I leave this life
With nothing left unsaid
Make this world a better place
Dont be afraid to cry
And when its finally time, to say goodbye
And when its finally time, to say goodbye
And when its finally time, to say goodbye
Theres nothing to prove, nothing to lose
Nothing to hide
