The song you sang
The song that changed
The song that never will
Be the same, your death, our shame
That it’s the last thing we’ll remember
Fear not my friend, for once again
Your time will come along
For year after year we sing the song
The song that has become you
And because of you we will never be the same,
Me and Lavender Blue

I wrote this for a friend of mine who passed away. Shortly before his death he had a singing solo in the school choir and performed it beautifully. This was one of my last and fondest memories of him.
