For Dave, wherever you may be

Woven through the stories and the summers of our youth Your laughter threaded through the soundtrack of our days And nights spent in the camp that hugged the Delaware Where slivers of our hearts will always stay They say time flies too fast, my friend, and I believe it’s true For it seems like only yesterday I first laid eyes on you Or maybe just this morning, not so very long ago So tell me how the hell are we supposed to let you go I’ll remember you with laughter and I’ll think of you with joy Of long-forgotten moments when you were just a boy While sifting through the memories that span across the years Of words sent over miles where you shared your hopes and fears Now I’m sitting here in sadness ‘cause I can’t believe you’re gone It shouldn’t have to end this way – it seems so very wrong As I listen to the songs we’ll never hear you sing again My smile slowly drowns in tears with thoughts of you, my friend ******* Quintessential Dave, who always made us laugh: In memory of Dave Alpert, who left this world way too soon… Links to Dave’s music: http://davealpert.bandcamp.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/shakemusic/videos
