Black Clouds & Silver Linings

Remember days of yesterday
And how it flew so fast
The two score and a year we had,
I thought would always last
The summer days and west coast dreams,
I wished would never end
A young boy and his father,
Idol and best friend


I'll always remember
Those were the best of times
A lifetime together
I'll never forget


The morning shows on the radio
The Case of Missing Dog
Lying on the pillows at the old 812
Watching Harold and Maude


Record shops, the stickball fields
My home away from home
When we weren´t together
The hours on the phone


I'll always remember
Those were the best of times
I'll cherish them forever
The best of times


But then came the call
Our lives changed forever more
You can pray for a change
But prepare for the end


The fleeting winds of time
Flying through each day
All the things I should have done
But time just slipped away
Remember "seize the day"
Life goes by in the blink of an eye
There's so much left to see


These were the best of times
I'll miss these days
Your spirit laid my life each day


Thank you for the inspiration
Thank you for the smiles
All the unconditional love
That carried me for miles
It carried me for miles
But most of all thank you for my life


These were the best of times
I'll miss these days
Your spirit laid my life each day
My heart is bleeding bad
But I'll be okay
Your spirit guides my life each day
