Tributes
Leave a tributeI didn't know what to say.
So I just hung up the phone.
I took a walk to clear my head,
This is where the walking led
Can't believe you're really gone
Don't feel like going home
So I'm gonna sit right here
On the edge of this pier
Watch the sunset disappear
And drink a beer
Funny how the good ones go
Too soon, but the good Lord knows
The reasons why, I guess
Sometimes the greater plan
Is kinda hard to understand
Right now it don't make sense
I can't make it all make sense
So I'm gonna sit right here
On the edge of this pier
Watch the sunset disappear
And drink a beer
So long my friend
Until we meet again
I'll remember you
And all the times that we used to...
... sit right here on the edge of this pier
And watch the sunset disappear
And drink a beer
-Luke Bryan
Leave a Tribute
As I sit here, sifting through your facebook photos, I keep thinking how happy you have been the last few years. Especially the last year - all the great photos of all the fun you've had with Rick... and I want to feel happy for that. Be happy that you had so much happiness at the end of your life. But I just keep thinking how unfar it is that your life was cut off in the middle of it. And I just get mad. Your fun times were just begining. You were supposed to get married this summer. It just doesn't make sense.
