Description
Song I wrote for my father who passed away last summer. A 'sundog' is the slang term for a speck of rainbow seen in the clouds when the light hits a certain way at a certain time. I saw this occurance on the day of his funeral, went home, and wrote the song.
Lyrics
Light a candle for a long, full life. A couple of kids, a job, and loving wife. Speeding through your little place in time. Without your heartbeat, I would not have mine. If only I could be like you. Then you wouldn't have to worry too. If only I could be like you. There you are. You did it once again. It's hard to comprehend we're staring at the end. There you are. Lost around the bend. So all my love I'll send to my father and my one and only friend. Don't know if I'll ever feel the same. I'm your image, even bear your name. And though the road of life left you for dead. New born sundog watch over my head! If only I could be like you. Then you wouldn't have to worry too. If only I could someday be like you. There you are. You did it once again. It's hard to comprehend we're staring at the end. There you are. Lost around the bend. So all my love I'll send to my father and my one and only... (friend) my one and only friend now...
