THEY LIVE ON
Joe and I were best of friends until he moved away
I was nine years old and I cried a sea of tears
Time has passed but I still think of how much fun we had
And how those feelings live on through the years
(Pre chorus ) As I walk the road that leads towards eternity
It’s good to know the ones I’ve loved are still a part of me
THEY LIVE ON in the memories I’ve come to treasure so
THEY LIVE ON in when I think about the times of long ago
Oh, the people near and dear to us are never really gone
In our minds and in our hearts THEY LIVE ON
In our minds and in our hearts THEY LIVE ON
Aunt Marie told stories of how she grew up on the farm
In her eyes I saw those fields of grain
She liked to ride her big brown horse every chance she could
She’s long since gone, but her stories still remain

My older brother Roy and I loved fishing in the lake
We so enjoyed sittin’ in that boat
He left this world in a desert war at the age of twenty one
But he’s still with me wherever I may go
Pre chorus
