Two Men-Two Good-Byes (Part 1)

As I prepare myself For the funeral service of my best friend The love of my life Is sitting on a mountains end I can only immerse myself In the thoughts of the two Yet praying for my children What they have been through My friend gave them Love, hope, and dreams Was like a father figure to them Even from a distance it seems I have learned a New lesson in life It is easier to love the dead Then living a dream of being a wife So, I offer a sincere farewell To the men that I love today To the one that is living And the one that has passed away One is just a Phone call away To speak to the other I will have to pray I have memories That time will bury Along with the thoughts Of what true love must carry Tomorrow I climb To the mountain peak Looking up and down at each My good-byes I will speak I have two regrets in life now Losing a man who loved us all And loving a man Who won't even call Dan always said "Leap in life till your legs you break. They will heal, But you only have one chance to take" Here's my leap I just hope there's someone there To catch me when I fall In my moment of despair.
