Bill

(album: Silver Linings - 2020)

Never thought that I'd grow up to be
This punker kid with no identity
Playing songs that no one knows
At ill-attended shows
Wondering, what the hell this life is for?
I go for all, but still want more

You blazed a trail, where there was none
And I descended on
My path in life, my destiny
You paved the way for so many

Why wait to honor someone, when they're gone?
The time is now, I'll show you how
Raise a glass to Bill and sing along

When things were dark, you were a light to me
And everything you said would help me see
You pick me up when no one can
Shape the person that I am
Keep reminding me what I'm here for
Go for all and still want more

You pull my heartstrings with those songs
Of love and hope and loss
And silly words that make no sense
I hope you know how much you meant

Why wait to honor someone, when they're gone?
The time is now, I'll show you how
Raise a glass to Bill and sing along
Raise a glass to Bill and sing along
Don't wait
To sing along
Don't wait
I can't thank you enough
For what you've given us

Why wait to honor someone, when they're gone?
The time is now, I'll show you how
Raise a glass to Bill and sing along
Raise a glass to Bill and sing along
Let's sing along
