about

It's about a man I didn't get to share enough time with.

lyrics

and the man who'd boast the biggest grin
would slowly fade in time
let it go me girl let it go me girl
can't you see that he's lost his mind

oh the memories and the photographs
that preserve the golden age
and the echoes of laughter that haunt these walls
are what get me through the day
he was a man of pride a man so full of love
that he shared with all he knew
so I wonder how it's justified
that he was taken from us to soon

as the years went by he'd show his softer side
as he hurtled to the end
unbeknownst to us it'd come sooner than
the expectations of his friends
it was a typical day he went to drive away
looked left before looking right
inched ahead and looked upon a woman's face
on the brakes with all her might

seven years ago I wish that I had known
that time was running out
oh the things I'd say and live out every day
make every second count

because the man who'd boast the biggest grin...

as his eyes rolled back and basic functions failed
he forgot all of our names
but that did nothing to stop his loving wife
from visiting every day
and with the nurses round she'd tell him stories and
lace her fingers inside his
and if I didn't know what it meant before
I know now that's what true love is
