| For Eric June 30, 1992 - November 6, 2009 "Our Nephew" |
| "Why" by Rascal Flatts You must have been in a place so dark You couldn't feel the light Reaching for you through that stormy cloud Now here we are gathered in our little home town This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd Oh why, that's what I asking Was there anything I could have said or done Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul God only knows what went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song Now in my mind I'll keep you frozen as a 17 year old Rounding third to score the winning run You always played with passion no matter what the game When you took the stage you shined just like the sun Oh why that's what I keep asking Was there anything I could have said or done Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul Oh God only knows what went wrong and why you would leave the stage in the middle of a song Now the oak trees a swaying in the early autumn breeze The golden sun is shining on my face Tangled thoughts I hear the mocking bird sing this old world really ain't that bad a place Oh I there's no comprehending and who am i to try judge or explain But I do have one burning question Who told you life wasn't worth the fight They were wrong They lied Now you're gone and we cry It's just not like you to walk away in the middle of a song Your beautiful song Your absolutely beautiful song |
