lyrics
Hey, buddy, how’ve you been?
I hope the afterlife is treating you well up there
I know it’s been a little while since we last spoke
But I still hear your voice as clear as the southern air
It brought a tear to my eye, like it always does
Why did this wild life have to rip you away?
Regardless when and how there’s nothing that I can change
There’s still just so much more I wish that I got to say
I hear you sing for me
I see your butterfly flutter and float away
The closest thing I have
To seeing you is this cardinal that’s here to stay
I’m thinking maybe you’ve made a new friend or two
Another angel, someone as sweet as you
You’re showing signs, and giving me living proof
There was no goodbye, just, “See you again real soon.”
I miss the way you light up the room
Cause I am so blind here without you
I still hear your tone in tunes you never knew
Your heart lives on in songs and tattoos
The past two years flew by like bright balloons
That wrote your name in stars although we’re worlds apart
Cause you are living proof heaven is in view
I know you’re standing right next to me
I know you’re listening to every word I say
Which means I’ve got a couple of things to ask
Are you proud of me and when will I see you again?
I miss the way you light up the room
Cause I am so blind here without you
I still hear your tone in tunes you never knew
Your heart lives on in songs and tattoos
The past two years flew by like bright balloons
That wrote your name in stars although we’re worlds apart
Cause you are living proof heaven is in view
