You didn't know we loved you so
hearts burst every time you walked in
smiles bigger than life and energy too
but you didn't let it in, you didn't feel
the love we had for you was real and good and honest
Every moment made in history good for you was done by you
no harm could come from some unseen untrusted soul
you never trusted anyone to be there when you called
only from experience could you see and draw upon
the love that came your way was true and big and good
The songs you sang and the fun held only for an instant
after that you drank your sorrows under, but they always return
my friend, temporary relief only heightens the pain of yesteryears
true healing is what you needed and were afraid to see
we've been there, but you didn't believe the love
And now you're gone and we can only feel you in our memories
tears shed for all that never was or will be shattered by a loaded gun
I love you John, and so do all those who ever knew you
we miss the man you were and couldn't see in the mirror through the pain
that could have been gently healed in winter...
