Beat You There By: Will Dempsy

I don't know why
God always takes the good ones first
And man, I've tried
To be strong and carry on, but damn this hurts
And I just wish that I could talk to you
Again somehow, someway
Even if it's for a moment
So I can hear you say

Don't cry for me, I'm alright
I'm better than you know
And this life can be a short ride
So don't waste in on sorrow

And just hold on to those moments
And the memories we shared
We're both headed for the same place anyway
I just beat you there

I know they say
"Just give it a little time, you'll be okay"
That might be true
But it don't really help me today

And we ain't supposed to question
The man upstairs
There's just so much I don't understand
It just don't seem fair

Don't cry for me, I'm alright
I'm better than you know
And this life can be a short ride
So don't waste it on sorrow

And just hold on those moments
And the memories we shared
We're both headed for the same place anyway
I just beat you there

And as each day goes by
I get a little bit stronger
But that don't stop me from wishing you
We're here a little bit longer

So I'm gonna smile when I think of you
Like I know you'd want me to
And I know you're watching over me
In everything I do

And all those things I never got to say
Well, I'll send 'em with this prayer
Then look up, wipe my tears and raise my beer
And I'll see you there

And I'll see you there
