Maybe it takes a long time to be as good as you
To see things clearly and act proud
And know just what to do
Maybe I'm just some fool heading nowhere fast
But I loved you then and I love you now
Sorry I said it last
(C) One of the last things you told me
When I was too young to realize
Was to love and cherish life
Work hard, and to strive
Now you're gone
When I talk to you, you make everything so clear
You taught me how to look at the world
Taught me there's nothing to fear
