i sat at your gravestone
it was raining
no one else but you and me
i thought about the things we went through
all the things i still need to say
how you never got to finish high school
never got the chicks you said you would
had so much fun while lasted
died too young to ever be afraid
you told me you'd be with me forever
that was the one promise you never managed to keep
we suffered so much together
no one else would ever understand.
you rest in peace six feet below now
but the pain you left behind never fades
i did my time and i grew up
you never made it that far
but if you could see me today
i know you'd be so proud of me
it's too late to grow old together
i can only sit here and weep
i wish you could have met my daughter
she's so beautiful and so bright and sweet
she's carefree and always trusting
just like you used to be.
i know you would have made the best godfather
you'd have loved her just like your own.
but you left too soon to see her
and now she'll just have to listen to the stories i tell
of two kids who grew up together
where one died and went to heaven
and the other lived on on his memory
