This Picture Is My Favorite Memory

Hi, what kind of weather we gonna get
It's our regular afternoon weather, right?
Is it bad over there?
It's kinda nice sittin' out here now

Life is good, life is good, life is always good
Cause I know we did the best we could

This picture is of my favorite memory
It a was bright and warm, a sunny day
A moment captured so perfectly
Just before everything in my life changed
I was on your lap just a carefree kid
Sailing the ocean with you on the Norwegian Wind
Wearing my new Pokemon t-shirt
That I got in Cozumel Mexico

We all knew this could happen
I wish I could just go back there
To the days leading up to you're stroke
Then maybe you would still be here
Losing you changed my life forever
It's hard living without here
It's even harder to go on Living
Going on without you another year

I miss you so much
Still can't believe that you are gone
Again I said "I miss you so much"
Still can't believe that you are gone
That you are gone

And that you are gone, gone, gone
And that you are gone
And that you are gone, gone, gone
And that you are gone

Remembering the last time I saw you in good health
My mind always flashes back to the moment
When we were on the golf cart just driving around
When you told me "I'm not going to be around forever
And you need to start working towards getting your life together"
So you can be more independent and rely more on yourself
How it was up to me and no one else

Went and saw Mark Kozelek one night in Orlando
Just a few nights before you passed away
And on the way to the venue, I glanced out the window
The afternoon sun was shining down upon the palms
As I thought about you and the times we've shared it came to me how
Florida's just not the same as it was twenty years ago
Like everywhere with everything and everyone else
And I wonder how much more things will be different
In another twenty years from now

We all knew this could happen
I wish I could just go back there
To the days leading up to you're stroke
Then maybe you would still be here
Losing you changed my life forever
It's hard living without here
It's even harder to go on Living
Going on without you another year

I miss you so much
Still can't believe that you are gone
Again I said "I miss you so much"
Still can't believe that you are gone
That you are gone

And that you are gone, gone, gone
And that you are gone
And that you are gone, gone, gone
And that you are gone

So much to choose I spent a lot of time with you on that cruise
Sometimes just walking along the decks with you
How I could always talk to you like you were my best friend
But who would've thought it would the be the last time ever
That we'd all be together at the same time, at the same place in one room
And If I was ever granted just one wish I would relive the entire trip
Even though I got so seasick I thought I was turning blue
Till my Aunt Mary gave me some medicine I could chew

We all knew this could happen
I wish I could just go back there
To the days leading up to you're stroke
Then maybe you would still be here
Losing you changed my life forever
It's hard living without here
It's even harder to go on Living
Going on without you another year

I miss you so much
Still can't believe that you are gone
Again I said "I miss you so much"
Still can't believe that you are gone
That you are gone

(Still can't believe that you are gone)
And that you are gone, gone, gone
And that you are gone
(Still can't believe that you are gone)
And that you are gone, gone, gone
And that you are gone

Now I'm here thinking back on all that we've done
Wondering where all the years have gone
And if there was anything left undone
And what will happen in the years to come
Will I finally make sense of it all?
Get my life together and make you proud
Well only time will tell
"You know the balls in your court"
Or at least that's what you'd say to me if you were still around
And I'm still haunted by the last moment I saw you in good health
Circa 2016, you were waving goodbye to me from your garage
As I was being pulled away from your driveway in a rental car

This Picture is my favorite memory
Was a bright and warm, a sunny day

I wish I could just go back there, go back there, go back there
I wish I could just go back there
