Lyrics
Quarter of my life you’ve been a legacy
Reflecting on a quarter of the speaker's life as a legacy.
Yet your sun shines all over me
Feeling the positive influence of someone, like the sun shining.
Struggle to find that peace of mind that
Expressing difficulty in finding peace of mind.
You did provide that, heck, you were like that …
Acknowledging the person provided support and was consistent.
I’m still not sure I’m ready to let you go …
Uncertain about being ready to let go of this person.
You gave me life and you gave me smiles … and …
Gratitude for being given life and joy by the person.
You gave me time that others couldn’t find
Appreciating the gift of time that others couldn't offer.
You let me roam and you gave me hope and
Being allowed freedom and given hope.
Taught me to fly and … I’m still riding …
Being taught life lessons and still carrying them forward.
Taught me to solve that mystery
Acknowledging the person taught problem-solving skills.
All I want versus all I can be
Contemplating desires versus one's potential.
You were half and you made me whole, then you
The person being a significant part of the speaker's life.
Turned around and you let me soar …
The person letting the speaker pursue their ambitions.
I see you in my face just a little more …
Seeing the person's influence in oneself.
You gave me life and you gave me smiles, and
Gratitude for the person's contributions to life and joy.
You gave me time that others couldn’t find it
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the time given by this person.
You let me roam and you let me hope and
Acknowledging the freedom and hope provided by the person.
Taught me to fly and … I’m still riding …
Continuing to apply the lessons learned and moving forward.
The hearts that burn you up in the letting go
Reflection on the emotional impact of letting go.
Will light you up with what they leave behind …
Positive outlook on the lasting impact of relationships.
I got your love and I got your smiles and
Expressing possession of the person's love, joy, and time.
I got your time that others couldn’t find it
Highlighting the uniqueness of the time given by the person.
I got the rope and caught my hope and
Having hope and being resilient despite challenges.
Look at me, old man … I’m still riding … don’t stop smiling …
Affirmation of continuing the journey with the person's teachings.
