Performance

Thought of you today
And I almost did cry
I did manage to say
But out it came as a lie

I know your up there

Watching over me

It truly isn’t fair

Of what you really can’t see

I see my family moving on

Without me so it appears

Almost like a breaking dawn

Only you know my fears

I’m still to young to catch the lie

But even so I know just enough

Please tonight continue to fly

Down here on Earth, life is rough

She may never remember who you are
And he may never recover
But I know you are never far
In my heart I know you are with your lover

Over the years you’ve seen so much

From sons to great great grandchildren

And seen so many students as such

And seen your greats’ grow into young men

I still cry when I think of you

I’m sure the family does too

This much I know is true

There really isn’t much to do

There never can be a good bye

For I never did have the chance

I keep telling myself its a lie

Then I get up to dance

One of these days I’ll know what to do
But for now I’ll say I miss you
On stage you’ll hear them give me my cue
And I’ll dedicate this performance to you.
