lyrics

You came to us in 1996
You were big of stature and you were big of heart
We could always hear you till you were taken that day
You were just fifteen when we had to part
And now it's quiet here without you

We can't say how much we miss you, but we're thankful for those years
You are locked within our memories, from which you'll never disappear
We don't want to cry forever because the smiles outlast the tears
And though you couldn't stay forever, we're just glad, glad that you were here

It wasn't always easy, but you stood your ground
You would always help and you would always give
You were thirsty for knowledge, but you made time to play
You loved to laugh and you loved to live
And still it's quiet here without you

We can't say how much we miss you, but we're thankful for those years
You are locked within our memories, from which you'll never disappear
We don't want to cry forever because the smiles outlast the tears
And though you couldn't stay forever, we're just glad that you were here

Building shacks in the woods with your friend
Biking out on the road with your dad
Taking roller coaster rides with your brother,
Drinking beer and trying to hide it, but it never made us mad

We can't say how much we miss you, but we're thankful for those years
You are locked within our memories, from which you'll never disappear
We don't want to cry forever because the smiles outlast the tears
And though you couldn't stay forever, we're just glad that you were here
And though you couldn't stay forever, we're just glad, glad that you were here

You loved popcorn and movies, animals and music
You loved the forest and you loved the sea
We'll always be proud of the man you were becoming
You're here in our hearts, and that's where you'll always be
Till one day we're together
