[00:16.37] Yesterday saw you missing,
[00:20.55] Drawn to the light in the distance
[00:24.93] Holding her hand while she listened,
[00:28.96] She told him how much she would miss him
[00:33.49] Said his goodbyes to his children,
[00:37.43] And let the weight fade away
[00:43.65] I have your hands,
[00:45.09] But I have my mother's eyes
[00:48.18] Your tact and poise
[00:49.67] And her sense of wrong and right
[00:52.41] Heard you awake in the middle of the night,
[00:57.04] Letting go of the things you keep inside
[01:01.96] Worked your fingers to the bone
[01:06.22] To be sent home with a cardboard box
[01:10.80] Filled with everything you've known,
[01:14.98] All things come to be loved and lost
[01:18.96] I'll keep a moment sealed in time inside a picture frame,
[01:23.05] A small reminder of the days I thought would never change
[01:27.33] They always say it's clear to see
[01:31.81] How parts of you shine through in me
[01:36.04] I think you know, you won't be here forever
[01:41.87] And you're counting down the days
[01:45.05] Till you can rest your tired eyes and let it slip away
[01:53.81] The lessons learned at your side
[01:55.60] Will stay with me all my life,
[01:57.84] The man I hope to become,
[02:00.03] I know is deep down inside
[02:02.12] I know, you don't even need to say,
[02:06.55] I know you're proud in your own way
[02:15.42] I know you're proud in your own way
[02:27.51] And you watched me grow up
[02:29.85] As I watched you grow older,
[02:32.29] The chip off your block,
[02:33.93] Held me up on your shoulders
[02:36.47] I wish I told you yesterday.
