Leroy

You were a character, a bright and loving spark

Always laughing, leaving light inside the dark

I still remember the beauty of your smile

You had a restless energy that made it all worthwhile

You put that "Lava" song on, letting the music play

To tell me that you loved me for the very first time that day

Oh Leroy, I wish I could tell you how much I love you now

I'm holding to the promise that we made to each other somehow

I'm always gonna wait for you, steady and tried and true

'Cause every day that passes by is one day closer to you

You took me above the clouds to a breathless, beautiful view

There was never a dull moment when I was there with you

Hanging upside down on the handrails of the light rail train

You gave me a Spiderman kiss, and I'd do it all again

You had our wedding all planned out, we never had to rush

When I asked you what I needed to do, you said, "Just show up."

Oh Leroy, I wish I could tell you how much I love you now

I'm holding to the promise that we made to each other somehow

I'm always gonna wait for you, steady and tried and true

'Cause every day that passes by is one day closer to you

I am so sorry I wasn't there with you on that day

The weight of that empty moment never really fades away

But I feel your spirit with me, I hear your laughter still

I promised I would wait for you, and you know I always will

Oh Leroy, I wish I could tell you how much I love you now

I'm holding to the promise that we made to each other somehow

I'm always gonna wait for you, steady and tried and true

'Cause every day that passes by is one day closer to you

When heaven finally calls my name, I know what I'm gonna do

I'll just show up, and I'll be there with you
