When I was little I looked at you like you'd hung the moon I clung to your words like life line You were my world Your stories were my maps But as I get older And now that your gone I realize I have to branch out I have draw my own maps Build my own world Your stories will always be there Will always hold a special place in my heart But they can no longer be my world They are not maps of how my life will be They are good memories and fond feeling They are guilds on how to be Not what to do As much as I wish things were simple And I could just do what you did And turn out as happy as you were I can't We are not the same person We can't live the same lives So your stories will always be with me Will always warm my heart I grew up on your stories But its time to live my own
