Carpe Diem

Time is a wretched thing
Taking the good ones unexpectedly
I never got a warning
I'll miss you as long as my heart still beats

Life is unforgiving
Can I graduate from this stage of grief?
I can't shake the feeling
I'll miss you as long as my lungs still breathe

Oooh
Where are you my father?

Dear Universe, have sympathy
I'm crying out
On bended knees
I've never felt like this
I've never felt guilty to live

Dear Universe, have sympathy
I'll carry out all he taught me
I hear his words ring out so clearly
C'est la vie

On the morning drive you played hootie & the blowfish
Beach boys, and Jefferson Starship
The soundtrack to my childhood
We built this city and the city was good

Weeknights watching movies with mel brooks
Horror flicks original star wars
Visit your folks on the weekend
Everytime i visit i just miss you again

Oohh come back to me my father

You're in my words whenever I speak
You're in my thoughts in how I reason

The same voice that's ringing through my head
Read to me as a kid

Hour drives on highway 301
Sharing stories from the days when you were young

If I knew when our last day would be
You would have never watched me leave

Dear Universe, have sympathy
I'll carry out all he taught me
I hear his words ring out so clearly
C'est la vie
