As the sun sets on the valley
And I'm losing my best friend
There's some things I like to think before I think about the end
There's a river that runs by me
Summer nights I jump right in
Sink my head beneath the water, send my feelings off to swim
As I look at my old man now
Climbing into his old car
I see time just marches on as steady as a beating heart
There's a lot in life to live for
There's some things to make you cry
Here's a song I like to sing each time somebody I love dies
Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmmmm
I pull out a box of pictures
From back when I was 9 or 10
I see people there with me I know I'll never see again
They say time's the greatest healer
But there's a funny thing with time
I find that as it passes on I'm saying more and more goodbyes
This world's all about the loving
It's the only thing that's real
To find the people that you love and go tell 'em how you feel
There's a lot in life to live for
There's some things to make you cry
Here's a song I like to sing each time somebody I love dies
Hmmm
Hmmm
Hmmmmm
As the sun sets on the valley
And I'm losing my best friend
There's some things I like to think before I think about the end
