When I was a young boy,
she tried to let me know
But I never listened,
now I'm in a sad song
You know it's true what they say
Speak your mind, before the moment's gone away
As I think about the time, the memory's getting old
What I'd never asked them, stories never told
Before the dead leave you behind
You better say: "What's on your mind?"
You better ask before they go,
'cause you'll regret what you don't know
You know it's true what they say
Speak your mind, before the moment's gone away
My old friends that walk beside me
My nephew wasn't there
If I'd known it was the last time
I'd never left as well
You know it's true what they say
Speak your mind, before the moment's gone away
As I think about the time, the memory's getting old
What I'd never asked them, stories never told
Now I have to do what I'm saying,
to my dead friends above
I want my dead friends to know,
that I'd give them all my love
You know it's true what they say
Speak your mind, before the moment's gone away
As I think about the time, the memory's getting old
What I'd never asked them, stories never told
