Your humor used to bring people together
You spoke of family, of kids growing up in tough times
We laughed with you about it
Never knowing with whom we were laughing

We sang about chocolate cake
Of going back to bed, like we'd wanted to
The jokes were shared by so many people
Now they only fall flat

We can't laugh anymore
You took that from us
But those memories are ours to keep
So all that's left to say is...

Thank you for sharing
I'm glad for those years of laughter
Of the talk of good kids going bad
Even if you turned out to be one of them
