-it’s been a while, since I heard your name
-and someone said it the other day
-and I looked down, I looked away
-you saw me then, you saw me young
-I wish you could see me now I’m strong
-I’m doing it against all odds, they say I’m a fool but I could be someone, oh

-I guess you were getting old, and I think that you smoked a lot
-but I’ll still say the innocent die young
-cause you had the warmest heart, the oldest laugh
-and it would always rub off on us, but the good pass on
-and now you’re not here to pick me up when life gets rough, but

-I think you’re still around me
-and I feel like you are laughing
-I really hope that you are proud of me
-and have you seen my baby sister
-she’s not a kid no more, she’s bigger
-I really wish that you could see her

-will you hear this song? Oh god I hope
-and maybe one day they will play it on the radio
-and through the stereo in heaven then you’ll know
-and like my dad, I sing for love
-and if you could hear me oh I’d laugh
-cause you’ve never heard me sing before, or maybe you have so I’ll sing for you, and

-I guess you were getting old, and I think that you smoked a lot
-but I’ll still say the innocent die young
-cause you had the warmest heart, the oldest laugh
-and it would always rub off on us, but the good pass on
-and now you’re not here to pick me up when life gets rough, but

-I think you’re still around me
-and I feel like you are laughing
-I really hope that you are proud of me
-and have you seen my baby sister
-she’s not a kid no more, she’s bigger
-I really wish that you could see her

-cause you had the warmest heart, the oldest laugh
-and it would always rub off on us, but the good pass on
-and now you’re not here to pick me up when life gets rough, but

-I think you’re still around me
-and I feel like you are laughing
-I really hope that you are proud of me
-and have you seen my baby sister
-she’s not a kid no more, she’s bigger
-I really wish that you could see her
