I don't know why
God always takes the good ones first
And man, I've tried
To be strong and carry on, but damn this hurts
And I just wish that I could talk to you
Again somehow, someway
Even if it's for a moment
So I can hear you say
Don't cry for me, I'm alright
I'm better than you know
And this life can be a short ride
So don't waste in on sorrow
And just hold on to those moments
And the memories we shared
We're both headed for the same place anyway
I just beat you there
♪
I know they say
"Just give it a little time, you'll be okay"
That might be true
But it don't really help me today
And we ain't supposed to question
The man upstairs
There's just so much I don't understand
It just don't seem fair
Don't cry for me, I'm alright
I'm better than you know
And this life can be a short ride
So don't waste it on sorrow
And just hold on those moments
And the memories we shared
We're both headed for the same place anyway
I just beat you there
And as each day goes by
I get a little bit stronger
But that don't stop me from wishing you
We're here a little bit longer
♪
So I'm gonna smile when I think of you
Like I know you'd want me to
And I know you're watching over me
In everything I do
And all those things I never got to say
Well, I'll send 'em with this prayer
Then look up, wipe my tears and raise my beer
And I'll see you there
♪
And I'll see you there
