Better Place: In Loving Memory of Rose, for my good friend Paul

Better Place
(For my brother Paul)

Has the pain subsided?
Have the tears began to fall?
Have you begun to feel the loss?
Have the angels called?

Not that you need the pain
But you might need to cry
And the shoulder you might need
Might as well be mine

So to you, my old friend
I know just how you feel
Lean on me, hold on me
If you should start to reel

And when it comes rushing over you
If it takes you by surprise
You need to look no further
Than an old friend's reddened eyes

Have you found the wonder
Of the beauty behind the pain
It might be the one thing
To keep you from going insane

So to you, my old friend
I know just how you feel
Lean on me, hold on me
If you should start to reel

And when it comes rushing over you
If it takes you by surprise
You need to look no further
Than an old friend's reddened eyes

The tears you may be holding back
Have rolled down my face
As I remembered a love that I lost
Is in a better place

Thanks Metalchick, Paul was the other guitar player in my old band. Rose was his mom, she was a wonderful lady. She suffered from cancer, but now she is out of pain and flying around in Heaven!
