It's been a while, since I heard your name
And someone said it the other day
And I looked down, I looked away
You saw me then, you saw me young
I wish you could see me now I'm strong
I'm doing it against all odds, they say I'm a fool but I could be someone, oh

I guess you were getting old, and I think that you smoked a lot
But I'll still say the innocent die young
Cause you had the warmest heart, the oldest laugh
And it would always rub off on us, but the good pass on
And now you're not here to pick me up when life gets rough, but

I think you're still around me
And I feel like you are laughing
I really hope that you are proud of me
And have you seen my baby sister
She's not a kid no more, she's bigger
I really wish that you could see her

Will you hear this song? Oh god I hope
And maybe one day they will play it on the radio
And through the stereo in heaven then you'll know
And like my dad, I sing for love
And if you could hear me oh I'd laugh
Cause you've never heard me sing before, or maybe you have so I'll sing for you, and

I guess you were getting old, and I think that you smoked a lot
But I'll still say the innocent die young
Cause you had the warmest heart, the oldest laugh
And it would always rub off on us, but the good pass on
And now you're not here to pick me up when life gets rough, but

I think you're still around me
And I feel like you are laughing
I really hope that you are proud of me
And have you seen my baby sister
She's not a kid no more, she's bigger
I really wish that you could see her

Cause you had the warmest heart, the oldest laugh
And it would always rub off on us, but the good pass on
And now you're not here to pick me up when life gets rough, but

I think you're still around me
And I feel like you are laughing
I really hope that you are proud of me
And have you seen my baby sister
She's not a kid no more, she's bigger
I really wish that you could see her
