Lyrics: He was 25 years old; the party scene was gettin’ old; he went to the beach, for two weeks, to spend time with his family Nine oclock came around that night; watching the sunset felt so right; when the orange, the pink, the purple meet; the fresh air smells and tastes so sweet; It’s a moment separate from time; it’s when you find yourself Now he’s 40 years old; Extremely lame, at least that’s what he’s told; he used to be a hero, a man of men; now to his kids he’s just embarrassin’ Until one night his daughter came home a mess, she was dumped becuase she decided to keep on her dress; when your daughter decides your shoulder is a good place to cry; that’s when you find yourself Now he’s 80 years old; his wife left the world a year ago; he’s in pain, his children came, to be with him as he passed away He sees his his beautiful children’s faces, together they say his favorite graces, he closes his eyes as he walks to the light, and is reunited with his beautiful wife; it’s a moment separate from time, it’s when you find yourself

Hey man, great lyrics and chord progressions, please write more! Really enjoy your songs. This one says alot from a young man’s prospective.
the lyrics are so touching… (i’m not even mentionning the wonderful chords and guitar playing…)
the father/daughter part reminds me a bit of “butterfly kisses” by justin steere here on youtube.
