I remember the time. Before you were mine. And I was dying to be in his shoes. Now he's gone away. And I'm in his place. But his memory hasn't moved. The shadow he cast just grows larger than life.
I'm not sentimental, no one calls me tender. I keep my emotions safe inside. But I've never felt these feelings. And time just keeps revealing.. . A part of me I can no longer hide.
My little boy came to me last night. He said "daddy, I wish I could drive that big old truck". Just like you. You can stay up as late as you want. Watch t.v all night long.
Are you alone, can you talk to an old friend. Right or wrong, I had to hear your voice again. Unwritten law, protocol. Says to leave the past alone. .
The rumor's true, I got the news. They're closing up the doors. Two weeks and they won't need me anymore. All I know is work and home. And back again each day.
Yeah. . Just look at him laughing out loud. Life of the party. And look at me trying to be strong. Fighting the tears. . How can he just sit there acting.
Between the perfect world and the bottom line. Keeping love alive in these troubled times. Well it's a miracle in itself. And we know too well what that's about.
Was it just the stars aligning or a matter of good timing. That made two separate hearts beat as one. Or perhaps a higher power giving us our finest hour.
A family that loves me. More friends than I can count. Got that job I always wanted. Nothing to complain about. . I know I've got so much going. Still I've got so much gone.
Yeah yeah yeah. . Just look at him laughing out loud. The life of the party. And look at me trying to be strong. Fightin' the tears. How can he stand there acting like we never even happened.
Are you alone---can you talk to an old friend. Right or wrong---I had to hear your voice again. Unwritten law, protocol. Says to leave the past alone.
