Closer than Brothers

In a different life we would be best friends
From an early age
Who would ask you to come out and play everyday
Chasing kites in the tree by the yard
Time won't matter at all
Your style is contagious
Then we would dress alike

We're closer than brothers
I never had this before
Time owes nothing to us but farewell
To tell you that our time is up
Once we are gone who is gonna care
If we were ever here at all

I thought i saw you last night
Strange things a memory might do
We sat down and shared a cigarette
Talked life and setbacks over coffee
When you said you're leaving I didn't see it coming
You disappeared but the story will remain
I didn't expect it all to end
At the wave of your hand

Tyo my man, so I'll keep going
Here I am and no one else
From one day to another
And when it's my turn to go
I hope you stay out of trouble like your mother hopes
Let me be your lighthouse
Watching over you with fingers crossed
For everything you do
