As I sit here all alone and wondering why now once again
all the others weren't enought you had to take another friend
now once again to soon i search for words that just aren't there
I give to you my feelings in a song and with a tear
Somehow close yet still so far
I hold you here deep in my heart
I hope and pray these words you'll hear
that your at peace and free from fear
the question asked full in my rage how could you make this end
just seems so wrong that in his frime you'd go and take my friend
if goodness comes from tragedy then let this be the case
so only thoughs of joy are thought each time we see your face

Why did you have to know
I hope it's not in vain
Cause there has to be a reason
or some goodness in my pain
Passion churning sensess bluring
all the things you taught we learned
some things in life we'll never know
like how much time we're left to go

never fair or justified
sad alone I sat and cried
of all the questions we must ask
Not when, where, who but why so fast?
Now looking back I see the day our eyes they first did meet
an alligator shirt some jeans and docks upon his feet
with out stretched arms we said hello his face a welcome grin
You wanna go and spark a bowl nice to meet you my names lynn
a battle forges on but it just don't seem the same
cause I'm gonna win this battle and I'll do it in your name
I say goodbye to you my friend I did a fond farewell
at least your up in heaven now not stuck here in this HELL!!

On with the show we have to go
My thoughts they have been spoken
you touched our lives gave others
hope and now our hearts are broken
of all that come and all that go
there's few that have the spark
the strength the joy, the energy
to truely fill our hearts
of whom I speak I sing these words
and give this final hymn
I say it loud with love and pride and shout
I LOVE YOU LYNN!!!

Then someone looked up to the sky
look there's Lynn he said and off you flew
with dobbs by your side I know then you weren't dead
you just changed shapes free as a
bird to soar the skys above and so we turned
and waved goodbye as sadness turned to love
