You only know my music 
And liked the things it told you 
I had no like advantage 
I had to etch and mold you 
Out of sketchy bits of data 
And random brief encounters 
And now on reefs we can't avoid 
A special friendship founders 
And from this lesson I have come to know 
There are some things I can't delay 
To speak and share and show 

Say "thank you" for each memory 
That's added to your store 
Say please when someone wants to stay 
And share a little more 
Say everything you need to now 
Before it grows too late 
Say "you're special" to the ones you care for 
Say "I love you" if you dare 
For they won't hear "I'm sorry" if you wait 

You're going on a journey 
And I will someday follow 
I hope you know your passing 
Will leave behind a hollow 
In the lives of those who know you 
Your memory will shine 
And I'm proud to say that 
Thoughts of you will live in hearts like mine 
Let just this lesson that you've taught to me 
Go out into the hearts of those who truly hear and see
