Swing Life Away It was the shocking news that brought tears to my eyes. And you made me remember what it was like to cry. Boom! He took your life away. I guess the angels needed a rock star But just like that! How could he? You were my best friend, my uncle Always there for me, ready to talk at the drop of a hat You understood me And everyone felt the immense and almost unbearable pain, Almost the same pain that you had found since “It” took over your body I don’t care what you did, the choices you made You didn’t deserve that death! What about Andrea? She has no dad now! Nobody to walk her down the aisle! Nobody to bawl at her wedding! Nobody to sing at her wedding! So the family will always think of you, At 1:11 and 11:11 when Mimi greets your ghost When I strum your guitar my mind plays the movie of you playing on the street When mom tells stories of you she gets that familiar twinkle I can still feel you Uncle Jeff I still remember the scent of your cheap cologne and aftershave The stories you told with such passion You had disappeared inside the bar for a moment When you returned Your suitcase, your life, full of music, flames engulfing it The guitar, the out of tune guitar, with all your life carved into it Your lucky number The glass cross The thousand guitar picks in the case The stories, the stories Ever since I was little All the stories You didn’t hesitate to tell The deepest and the darkest The drugs The alcohol The prodigal son That was you You were as free as a bird with no restraints It didn’t matter I will always remember you Feeding me pie, I was a little bird. Rocking me back and forth, back and forth Humming Led Zeppelin That was the beginning, I wish it could come back and so could you I wish I was a baby It seemed like yesterday Let’s turn back all the time to then or farther back You could change your life, for the better!
