Stealing Chairs

Out of everyone you were the last expected to leave

So much potential

So much left to achieve

Thanks so much for warm receptions and your clear perceptions

Thanks so much for stealing chairs

For seeing light in darkened places

I thank you most for being there

I had a dream

I had a dream last night

And I think you know 'cause you were there

And there's not much I can say

That we miss you every day

And I'm bitter 'cause it's unfair

We'll be drinking in the sun

Playing music having fun

'Cause one day I'll see you there

Out of everyone you were the last I expected to grieve for

It seems my place is to be the bereaved

To find the light in darkened places

To see the gift that you were there
