What kind of life is this
Leaving 2 kids when you're just 23
She had a good shot
But cancer is bigger than you or me

Charlie was easy to love
He talked too much
But I will let that slide
He took good care of my ma
Gave her the best 3 months of her life

Whatever takes you, whatever takes me
Let's not let it waste
And if it's alright
I'm gonna touch you baby like there ain't nothin' but today
Like there's nothin' left to say

In 96 I was 21
The scene was beat
But I was still young

She was a singer
And I was a student of every show
I took mental notes
I played soul music
I took it in so I could let it go

You caught me off guard I must admit
In your letter you said you were sick
I was so glad to hear that you were still killin'em
I never thought you might have to quit

Whatever takes you, whatever takes me
Let's not let it waste
And if it's alright
I'm gonna touch you baby like there ain't nothin' but today
Like there's nothin' left to say
