He was larger than life
How could he be gone
And the house where we lived
How did it all go wrong?
If I could turn back time
I’d do it in an instant
But one thing I’ve surmised
To enjoy each moment as you live it
Counting the days until that special thing
Not knowing the losses you’ll know by then
Painful lessons life does bring
The moment is lost and won’t come back again
And before you know it, another is gone
They said he, too, was larger than life
He may have been, but he was not the one
Who taught me about love
That gift was my Skipper and Lovey, his wife
