Rafael

I see your favorite color everywhere I go

A flash of bright red in the evening glow

I hear that silly laugh, I see that perfect smile

I'd give up everything to sit with you a while

You had the best soul, you kept us laughing loud

Rafael, you always stood out in the crowd

Now I'm just looking at the pictures on the wall

Waiting for a voice that isn't going to call

You were a wonderful father, a brother, my son

A beautiful spirit, second to none

I miss you more than a melody misses the beat

Every memory we made is so bittersweet

You were lyrical, writing your own special song

Rafael, I've been missing you all day long

You always had a rhyme, spinning words from the heart

It's so hard to accept that we're living apart

I read the lines you wrote, I hear your voice so clear

It's the only thing keeping your energy here

You left your kids with a love they can hold

A story of a father that will never grow old

Funny and bright, yeah, you were one of a kind

You're the rhythm that's playing on loop in my mind

You were a wonderful father, a brother, my son

A beautiful spirit, second to none

I miss you more than a melody misses the beat

Every memory we made is so bittersweet

You were lyrical, writing your own special song

Rafael, I've been missing you all day long

Every time I see red, I know you're around

I can feel your sweet spirit in every sound

The best soul I knew, taken way too fast

But the verses you gave us are destined to last

Oh, I miss you, I miss you, I want you back home

Without my boy here, I just feel so alone

You were a wonderful father, a brother, my son

A beautiful spirit, second to none

I miss you more than a melody misses the beat

Every memory we made is so bittersweet

You were lyrical, writing your own special song

Rafael, I'll be missing you my whole life long

Yeah, my lyrical boy, I'll be missing you my whole life long
