you remember me
you remember who i used to be
i happily accept
every hug and handshake
on behalf of him
he is unable to be here tonight
in fact, he is unable to be anywhere
we set out together
on the one way road
from him to me,
but only i made it here
maybe he got a little lost on the way
and he'll show up in a moment or two
maybe he has gone home to be with Jesus
now, as you remind me of him
i'm remembering him too
i could even do a passable impression
of that guy we remember
feed me that perfect setup,
and I'll do the voice
make the face
say the line
we'll all have a great laugh so amazing
how much that sounds like him
it's almost like he was actually here
