Along the Lines of Poetry from the Past

A song for a lover
Is never quite the same
And when you hear those lyrics
You cry and curse his name.
A lover almost never lasts
So what's the point in words
To make you stop and remember
All the things you saw and heard?

So here's a song to a brother
One who will never go away
Here's a song to someone
Who I hope is here to stay.
Here's a song to someone
Who will always have a part
In this torn and growing space
This place that's called my heart.

Here's to a brother.

A song about a friend
Who's almost always there
It brings back those memories
Of the times you used to share.
A friend is never certain
Of which side they would choose
And every word could remind you
Of what you had to lose.

So here's a song to a brother
One who'll never go away.
Here's a song to a brother
Who I hope is here to stay.
Here's a song to someone
Who will always have a part
In this torn and growing space,
This space that's called my heart.

Here's to a brother.

A song about a memory
Is either happy or it's sad
And oftentimes it changes
As you realize what you had.
A memory is special
Words and pictures can it save,
But the pain is hardly worth it,
for your heart, to it, you gave.

Why sing to a lover who disappears
Why sing to a friend's false guise,
Why sing to a memory of that day,
And the sunny summer skies?
Why sing to all these different things
That never again will be?
Why sing to things that go away,
To loves that cease to be?

So here's a song to a brother,
One who will never go away,
Here's a song to a brother
Who I hope is here to stay.
Here's a song to someone
Who will always have a part
In this torn and growing space
This place that's called my heart.

This love for a brother
Is different in many ways
This love is unconditional
And will last beyond our days.

So here's to a brother.

This song is to you my brother
Please don't ever go away.
You're the single person
Who I hope will always stay.
You're the only person
Who will always have a part
In this torn and mending space,
This place that's called my heart.
