"GRATEFUL" I don't want change I just want yesterday But yesterday is yesterday She was my best friend Thought from beginning to the end By now she's in a different land Her journey complete, she helped me understand I guess I've realized Things change but we still go on In my life, I'm alive Seems strange, but I'm grateful for my days I'm grateful for my days Why did it end? So suddenly, or did I pretend? That everything with Mom and Dad was fine Sometimes we ignore the most obvious signs Together forever A love so strong that nothing could sever But blindness will preclude the sad I see now that good can sometimes come from bad I guess I've realized Things change but we still go on In my life, I'm alive Seems strange, but I'm grateful for my days I'm grateful for my days Copyright 2000 Beau Phillips
