about

People die every day.

This song is a snapshot of an average death of an average person on an average day.

lyrics

Woke up the usual time, even brushed his teeth,
Sat in his favorite chair watched a little TV,
Put on the Family Feud, from 1982
The Richard Dawson ones he thought were pretty cool.

Chorus:
Wave goodbye, when you fly by, don't forget to say goodbye.

He fixed himself a plate, and got right after it,
Talked a bit on the phone, sat in his chair again,
Felt tightness in his chest, thought he'd recline and rest,
He closed his eyes real fast sometimes life goes like that.

Chorus

I want you to know, I'll always miss you so.
I miss you right now, wish you were with me right now.

Don't forget me. Don't forget me. Don't forget me where you're going.
