David

I was just ten years old the night that you were born

Sneaking up that back elevator on the hospital floor

Just to get a look at you, sleeping in the light

I loved babysitting you, making sure you were alright

From a little boy to a grown man, the years went by so fast

Now I'm holding onto memories, wishing they could last

David, you were funny, you were loving, you were daring

A soul so bright, always giving, always caring

I'm so glad you were my nephew, through the laughter and the tears

Lord, I miss you so much, how I wish you were still here

I remember Disney World, when you were turning ten

Walking through the magic, wishing it would never end

Then I watched you at the altar, giving Deidre your hand

I was so proud to see the boy become a loving man

Every chapter of your life was a privilege to see

You were more than just a nephew, you were everything to me

David, you were funny, you were loving, you were daring

A soul so bright, always giving, always caring

I'm so glad you were my nephew, through the laughter and the tears

Lord, I miss you so much, how I wish you were still here

Now I'm standing in the garage, where we used to hide away

Just you and me and Jimmy, letting that old music play

Talking 'bout the old times, with the speakers turned up high

I'd give anything to have one more night go rolling by

'Cause David, you were funny, you were loving, you were daring

A soul so bright, always giving, always caring

I'm so glad you were my nephew, through the laughter and the tears

Lord, I miss you so much, how I wish you were still here

Yeah, I miss you so much, David, I wish you were still here
