Diane
When dad told me about your life
I can see that he did what you wanted him to
I look around at the rest of this family
And I can see your wishes coming true

Family gathers another reunion
Laughing like we always do
Look at grandpa happy just watching
I think he still misses you

You still bring meaning to this world
There’s still a seat left here for you

Oh, Diane, I can see you in the faces
The stories they tell, Oh the message never changes
Their eyes open wide, as they begin to remember
That big smile of yours, that still brings us together

Everyone remembers, the life of the party and
The way you would make them laugh all of the time
A black haired beauty, kept everyone happy
A woman like you, is bigger than life

Sunny June morning Dad gets me up
We took a ride to that old Holmdel house
Looking at trees, he said, used to be smaller
The carvings still there, they’re just all stretched out

They say I’m just like you
Yea, me, you and Seany boy too

I’ve never met you
But you are still so alive
And I know that I will see you
On the other side in Paradise
