Life’s Been Sweet  © L Dunn 2014

 Verse
There’s another place vacant at the table
One more, empty dining room chair
The absence is full
The memories are too
Life’s been sweet when it’s not being cruel
Verse
Winding down our final heart to heart
Across the table as if you’re still there
Talkin’ outta school
Rememberin’ friends that passed through
Life’s been sweet when it’s not being cruel
Bridge
Echoes fill this room
Of those who’ve passed
Before their time
Leaving too soon
Verse
Thumbing through a stack of old photographs
I’ll take my favorites and leave the rest
Frame the good times we knew
Keepsakes of you
Life’s been sweet when it’s not being cruel
Solo
Bridge
