Barb`s Song Lyrics

Barb`s Song lyrics

You only know my music

And liked the things it told you

I had no like advantage

I had to etch and mold you

Out of sketchy bits of data

And random brief encounters

And now on reefs we can't avoid

A special friendship founders

And from this lesson I have come to know

There are some things I can't delay

To speak and share and show



Say "thank you" for each memory

That's added to your store

Say please when someone wants to stay

And share a little more

Say everything you need to now

Before it grows too late

Say "you're special" to the ones you care for

Say "I love you" if you dare

For they won't hear "I'm sorry" if you wait



You're going on a journey

And I will someday follow

I hope you know your passing

Will leave behind a hollow

In the lives of those who know you

Your memory will shine

And I'm proud to say that

Thoughts of you will live in hearts like mine

Let just this lesson that you've taught to me

Go out into the hearts of those who truly hear and see
