Something will remind me
I never know just when
It might be something someone says
And it all comes back again
The times we spent together
The happiness, the fun
Once again, I feel the pain
Of life without my son and my brother
It says that time’s a healer
I’m not sure this is true
There’s not a day that goes by Son
That I don’t cry for you!
