Until Next Time

As I sit here all alone and wonder why now once again

All the others weren't enough you had to take another friend

Now once again too 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 deep in my heart

I hope and pray these words you'll hear

That you're 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 prime you'd go and take my friend

If goodness comes from tragedy then let this be the case

So only thoughts of joy are thought each time we see your face

Why did you go I 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 senses blurred

All the things you taught we learned

Some things in life we'll never know

Like how much time we've 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 outstretched arms we said hello his face a welcome grin

You wanna go and spark a bowl nice to meet you my name's Lynn

A battle forces 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 bid a fond farewell

At least you're 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 truth the joy the energy to truly touch our hearts

Of whom I speak I sing these words and give the 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 Dobbs by your side I knew then you weren't dead

You just changed shapes free as a bird to soar the sky's above

And so we turned and waved goodbye as sadness turned to love
