Description
This song I wrote about/for my friend Ben you was hit and killed by a car. I wrote this song right after his funeral as this was a very emotional experience. Ben was twenty one years old. The chorus of this song says, "Twenty one is all too young, but twenty one was a lifetime." It is meant to help people realize that we do not know when our time will come, so we must live each day with an attitude reflecting gratitude.
Lyrics
I see you here, so clean and all too still. I see you now, and yet I wonder how, Where, why, when, what happened, I wasn’t paying attention I look deep back into the past, at memories I want to last Cause I know one things true for sure, no memories will be made more I want more, oh I want more. (Verse 1) So many loved you, many here would want to hug you Many there would want to see you smile now I guess they’ll have to wait a while (Chorus) Twenty-one is all too young. But twenty-one was a lifetime. (Verse 2) I sit here now wondering why, looking up past the dark blue sky Far past this Earth and to the stars, I wonder which of them you are (Chorus) Twenty-one is all too young. But twenty-one was a lifetime. (Verse 3) I see you here, so clean and all too still. I sit here now wondering why, looking up past the dark blue sky Far past this Earth and to the stars, I wonder which of them you are For I have no doubt in my mind, that now forever will you shine And if one more day you had here, You’d spend it with smiles not tears. (Chorus) Twenty-one is all too young. But twenty-one was a lifetime. (X2) (Concluding Verse) You were a friend to many souls, they turn to God to be consoled, please pray for them. We’ll miss you Ben.
