every september i always remember to sing to your headstone and hear you sing back wait for the day work for the day how could i forget the world you showed me courage and brilliance curiosity wait for the day work for the day too many watery eyes in protest for a brighter age all the while i ll shine in this song even when my body s gone too many watery eyes in protest for a brighter age all the while you ll shine in this song even when your body s gone i ll hear you sing back wait for the day work for the day now every september i always remember to sing to your headstone and hear you sing back wait for the day work for the day too many watery eyes in protest for a brighter age all the while i ll shine in this song even when my body s gone too many watery eyes in protest for a brighter age all the while you ll shine in this song even when your body s gone beyond time and place in your footstep s trace when we close our eyes and we see your face beyond the days your art and voice are missed beyond sentiment every word is bond beyond memory when these days are gone i ll carry you in my heart and soul and fist i promise now through the days every smile s memorial every time we raise a glass to your name it s your energy flows through me i will walk with my heart still open courage spoken loud i put my song on the track and hear you sing back
