Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #folk #tribute
So this is a tribute to my nephew Todd, who passed away too soon last summer. He was 55 and had stomach cancer diagnosed a few years ago. He was the son of my oldest brother, who had him at 19. So Todd was only 7 years younger than me. My parents basically raised him, so he was more of a younger brother than a nephew. He was a beloved nephew, grandson, and friend to everyone who knew him. Its hard to express how special he was, in a 3-minute song. But he was always very positive, despite the difficulties he endured in life.
This is for him...RIP my brother...

Lyrics

He always said,
Life is good
He never waivered
from where he stood

When I look back
upon his life
He didn’t always have
it so nice

But you’d never know
from talking to him
He’d say it was all good
uncle Tim

Refrain
Life is Good
laughter is free
Don’t worry bout the things
that happened to me

Raised by his grandma
when his mom left town
he always had Love
from the family around

His dad had some demons
with the drink
but he let it go
it made him think
refrain
He got married
To a wonderful girl
a pair of daughters
were his whole world

The doctors said
he might have a year
he lived for 2 more
without any fears

Friends and family
had to gather around
everyone had stories
his love was abound
refrain

Now that hes gone
its left a big hole
Its left us all to wonder
who will fill the roll

Hard to imagine
life without him
his presence is felt
without and within
Refrain

I like to say
he was too good for this world
I can see he’s alive
In the face of his girls
