Prologue

 

            For a lot of people, music is a way to escape the world. It’s a way to leave behind all of their problems and worries and just...be. Not for me. My music is a reminder. A reminder of everything we had and everything we could have been. There is one song in particular that makes me think of him. No matter who I am with or what I am doing, I stop everything when it comes on.

 

When I got the news today

I didn't know what to say.

So I just hung up the phone.

 

I took a walk to clear my head,

This is where the walking led

Can't believe you're really gone

Don't feel like going home

 

So I'm gonna sit right here

On the edge of this pier

Watch the sunset disappear

And drink a beer

 

Funny how the good ones go

Too soon, but the good Lord knows

The reasons why, I guess

 

Sometimes the greater plan

Is kinda hard to understand

Right now it don't make sense

I can't make it all make sense

 

So I'm gonna sit right here

On the edge of this pier

Watch the sunset disappear

And drink a beer

 

So long my friend

Until we meet again

I'll remember you

And all the times that we used to...

 

... sit right here on the edge of this pier

And watch the sunset disappear

And drink a beer

Drink a beer,

Drink a beer.

Yeah

 

I love you and I miss you and I just need you here with me right now, but I’m not stupid. I know that will never happen.
