Alright

You sang it to me long ago, 

Feeling down, I'd never be

With your sweet, sweet voice

Caressing me.

"Everything's gonna be alright."

Are the words you gave.

If ever a tear fell, 

They'd disappear when you played.

You were my dearest friend, 

Although sometimes quite a clown, 

You'd always seem to make me laugh

When my world turned upside-down.

That fateful day you told me, 

The day you were put to rest, 

Listen to that song, you said, 

When God puts you to the test.

I listen to it now

And although I'd love to cry

I know you wouldn't like that

So I'll just smile and look to the sky.
