There's a hole that's been burned on the left side of my chest
I try to stay together but my mind's a total mess
Oh could this be a nightmare shake me 'til it goes away
Time keeps ticking faster without any delay
And why'd you have to leave
I know it's not your fault but I miss you so
You gave your heart to me
And all the people that you've ever known
(And Ay-i-i) You live on in memory
(And Ay-i-i) Yeah one day we'll all be free
(And Ay-i-i) You live on in memory
(And Ay-i-i) Yeah one day we'll all be free
It helps to know that you lived such a full and loving life
Like how you were the best man to your daughter, son, and wife
I've known you like a father ever since I was young
My dad and you have shaped me to the man I've become
And why'd you have to leave
I know it's not your fault but I miss you so
You gave your heart to me
And all the people that you've ever known
(And Ay-i-i) You live on in memory
(And Ay-i-i) Yeah one day we'll all be free
(And Ay-i-i) You live on in memory
(And Ay-i-i) Yeah one day we'll all be free
(And Ay-i-i) You live on in memory
(And Ay-i-i) Yeah one day we'll all be free
