Mike And The Mechanics – The Living Years Lyrics 11 years ago
I herd this song when I was little, I always remembered it and sang to it , it was later i started understanding the lyrics, My cousin asked me if I remembered this song, she explained it was played at my dads funeral. I finally understood why this song meant so much to me... I was only 5 when he died , wish I got to know him , I wish I got to tell him all the things I have to tell. And I swear years later when I gave birth to my baby girl I did hear his echo in my babies tears , I really do wish I got to meet him in his living years. My kids speak of him as if they knew him and jump on the trampoline hoping if they jump real high they might just touch him in the sky... I know he never got to meet my kids but my kids sure do know him sometimes i think more than I do.
I understand the lyrics to be to listen not just speak. Listen to what people are trying to say instead of speaking what you want, you learn soo much more of hearing. DOnt let things be unsaid, let people know you care. I wish I had a chance with my dad , but I do have a chance with the people whom are here right now!!
