DEREK
You can whisper these words or say
them out loud
whether you say them to yourself
or to a crowd
They will mean the same every time
they're spoken
although now they are said from
a heart that is broken
Don't cry when you say it, just
look up high
Cause this time when you say it,
you'll be speaking to the sky
Your words will be heard, although
no longer through his ear
It's his spirit that's listening
and he'll hold your words dear
So go ahead and tell him every day
He'll hear every word that you have
to say
I love you is a good place to start
after that, the words will just
pour from your heart
Derek is watching
as you grow through the years
your wedding, your babies
when you face your worst fears
Celebrate his life & miss him
in death
and forget him never, until your
last breath
you'll see him again
when it's your turn to walk
you'll meet him at the gates
you'll have time to talk
So for now tell him "I love you"
every single day
Your words will pass through the
clouds
he'll hear what you have to say
Your brothers smile will shine in
your heart
So look carefully you'll never be
apart
So whether you whisper your words
or say them out loud
Derek will hear them and he will
always be proud
