Sit on down raise a glass try not to think about the past Since you've gone can't move on You were taken oh so fast Even the angels cried out loud When they saw you coming I don't know how I’m gonna let you go I see your face When I close my eyes I see your face Then I start to cry I miss your face It's too hard to say goodbye Don't even know if i can try We were young barely teens When you gave your heart to me I carved it in the old oak tree cut my hand and skinned my knee When I fell I fell for you Now What am I supposed to do Can't believe I have to let you go I see your face When I close my eyes I see your face Then I start to cry I miss your face It's too hard to say goodbye Don't even know how I could try I gave you my heart I made you my wife You gave us a daughter now she's all I've got and I see your face When I look into her eyes I see your face Then I start to cry We miss your face It's so hard to say goodbye It's gonna take a little time It's so hard to say goodbye It's gonna take a little time

Celebrate Life “Protect your heart,” my mam would say An artist ahead of her day “Feel every little joy and pain Remember THIS is life, you won’t be here again”. “You are capable of anything” Those words will always help me sing. “Keep it simple” When you lose your way Man how I miss her every day… Thunder and lightning brings me home Nothing shines like the soul Don’t forget if your parents hadn’t met You wouldn’t be here at all to celebrate Celebrate celebrate this life “Stay out of trouble, use your head” Just one of the many things my father said. Friends forever but family first It was the tough love That felt the worst A shoulder to lean on When I’m feeling low Open arms When I’ve got no place left to go… Thunder and lightning brings me home Nothing shines like the soul Don’t forget if your parents hadn’t met You wouldn’t be here at all to celebrate Celebrate celebrate this life

Thank you for helping out I know that you worried that i was gone too long Years have passed and I've been gone too long, I'll come back home tomorrow Although many moons have come and gone with the passing years when I kept reaching out looking out searching for anything, you were always here for me I'm starting to work it out I'm starting to figure everything out now I'm starting to work it out

They dropped their arms and smiled The day he joined the circus Turned their heads and walked inside There may come a day When it will not be perfect We can always say he tried -- When will the letters start to arrive Home can be the house on the street where you lived Home can be the place where you have the most love to give Home can be the secret world you like to call your own Wherever you are, wherever you run Don't forget to write home He watched the days go by A life in full color But he was running out of time And time has a way Of killing all the wonder And putting clouds inside our minds -- Then the letters start to arrive Home can be the house on the street where you lived Home can be the place where you have the most love to give Home can be the secret world you like to call your own Wherever you are, wherever you run Don't forget to write home 'Cause someone might be wondering how you are Home - 'Cause someone's there to help you sooth your scars Home - Is never very far They raised their arms and cried The day he came from the circus You see he never left their minds "And we don't need to know If it was really worth it At least we know you tried -- We've got a box of letters we've been keeping inside" Home can be the house on the street where you lived Home can be the place where you have the most love to give Home can be the secret world you like to call your own Wherever you are, wherever you run Wherever you've been, whatever you've done You can always come home

I Miss You Ever since you went away My minds an open door To all the memories I’m left just wanting more I always knew my love would never fade Now that you’ve gone I can only say I know you’re happy now just where you are I always wanted just the best for you I know that I’m not in your plans right now I’d never do anything to hurt you I’m not saying that I want you back I’m just saying that I miss you Although it’s hard to do I’ve got to move along Our years I’ll always have I’ll find a way to be strong In time I know we’ll meet again For now my strength is just to say I know you’re happy now just where you are I always wanted just the best for you I know that I’m not in your plans right now I’d never do anything to hurt you I’m not saying that I want you back I’m just saying that I miss you Brace for tomorrow Embrace your yesterday It’s only what is meant to be I know you’re happy now just where you are I always wanted just the best for you I know that I’m not in your plans right now I’d never do anything to hurt you I’m not saying that I never think of you I’m not saying that I need you in my arms right now I’m not saying that I want you back I’m just saying that I miss you I’m just saying that I miss you I’m just saying that I miss you

As rivers ever fill the sea Mere eyes can't see a change The unseen hand replenishes And it flows downhill again The sun will rise The sun will set The wind blows side to side The generations come and go And yet the earth abides That which was will be again What was done will be done Though memories will always fade There's no new thing under the sun The sun will rise... I sought the answers in my toil I gathered up the spoils I chased wisdom madness and folly and found There's no profit under the sun The sun will rise...

I was a happy man 'til you came along You just didn't know what you were missing Oh, heaven help me if loving you is wrong You talk so much, boy, when we should kissing You don't know the mess i'm in Just shut up and open the door let me in You're gonna have me break my best girl's heart You know I'm the girl for the part If you don't think you've got my heartstrings strummin' You've got another thing coming And if you think this love is quite contagious Our love is built for the ages I don't know what to do with your tender heart Just put your arms around me, that's a start Oh i'm so scared To take this crazy chance Oh baby what's wrong with one more dance You don't know the mess i'm in Just shut up and open the door let me in You're gonna have me break my best girl's heart You know I'm the girl for the part If you don't think you've got my heartstrings strummin' You've got another thing coming And if you think this love is quite contagious Our love is built for the ages
