about

Life is difficult at times but you have to look at the long game. Stay on the sugar foot and be kind and have purpose. Live!

lyrics

You caught me cryin'
in the bright sunshine
On a beautifully sad sad day
A friend of mine of over 50 years
Up and walked away
I tried hidin' in shadows
But the sunlight got in the way
I found solace behind an old maple tree
And the breeze dried my tears away

Chorus
Sadness hides in every heart
Don't let it break your day
Life is for the living, Child
So live large every day

I had a dog for many many years
We walked the same path every day
We had a love that would not stop
One day she passed away
She rests under that old maple tree
Where we hide from the heat some days
I still walk the path we used to walk
It just don't feel the same

Chorus
Sadness hides in every heart
Don't let the sadness stay
Life is for the living, Child
So live life every day

My mom, when she was a young young girl
Was dealt a hard hard hand to play
She got sick when she got older
And slowly passed away
My troubled heart was breaking
I cried and cried for days
One day while grieving under that maple tree
I swear I heard my mother say

Chorus
Sadness hides in every heart
Don't wish your life away
Life is for the living, Child
So live large every day
