Wayman's Song by Toby Keith

“Sorry you missed me
I’ll get back with you as soon as I can
Thank you and God bless”

Got the news on Friday mornin’
But a tear I couldn’t find
You showed me how I’m supposed to live
And now you showed me how to die
I was lost till Sunday mornin’
I woke up to face my fear
While I’m writing you this goodbye song
I found a tear

I’m gonna miss that smile
I’m gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I’d do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
‘Cause that’s right where you wanna be
I’m not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I’m crying for me

I got up and dialed your number
And your voice came on the line
That old familiar message
I heard a thousand times it just said
Sorry that I missed you
Leave a message and god bless
I know you think I’m crazy
But I had to hear your voice again

I’m gonna miss that smile
I’m gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I’d do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
‘Cause that’s right where you wanna be
I’m not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I’m crying for me

So play your upside-down, left handed
Backwards bass guitar
And I’ll see you on the other side
Superstar

I’m gonna miss that smile
I’m gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I’d do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
‘Cause that’s right where you wanna be
I’m not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I’m crying for me

I’m still crying
I’m crying for me
I’m still crying

this always seems to come around at the best time

FIVE. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye.

it's a beautiful day today in charlotte, north carolina

today i had the honor of taking my 9 year old nephew to his soccer game and man is he ever good. he's so focused and gives it his all. he scored (hooray!), it ended in a tie, he really enjoyed the game and seeing his friends. parents were coming up to him congratulating him on a great game - it was awesome. when we got back to his house, his older sister was celebrating her 13th birthday, there were about 13 of her friends and a man that makes chocolate candy - would that be a chocolatier? willy wonka? maybe? there was so much more - food, cake, presents, those cool big decorated eggs filled with the freshly made chocolate and even another bag of goodies for her friends to take home with them. their mom is quite the event planner!
