"It's been a long day without you, my friend,
and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
We've come a long way from where we began.
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again."
I've loved that refrain but haven't really been able to connect with the rap verses. They were written specifically for the Furious 7 in tribute to Paul Walker so they were more about friendship, and the celebrity lifestyle (all the planes we've flew...brotherhood comes first etc.)
Then last night on the radio I heard another version, with sung verses from Charlie
And oh wow has it hit even closer to home. Especially this line:
"I know you're in a better place and it's always gonna hurt.
Carry on, give me all the strength I need.
To carry on."
So for other's who haven't heard the original, here it is, and the beautiful lyrics:
It's been a long day without you my friend,
and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
We've come a long way from where we began.
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
Why do you have to leave so soon?
Why do you have to go?
Why do you have to leave me when I needed you the most?
Cause I don't really know how to tell ya without feeling much worse.
I know you're in a better place and it's always gonna hurt.
Carry on, give me all the strength I need.
To carry on.
It's been a long day without you my friend,
and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
We've come a long way from where we began.
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
How do I breath without ya?
Feeling so cold.
I'll be waiting right here for ya till the day you're home.
Carry on, give me all the strength I need.
To carry on.
So let the light guide your way, hold every memory as you go.
And every road you take will always lead you home.
It's been a long day without you my friend,
and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
We've come a long way from where we began.
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again, when I see you again.
When I see you again, see you again.
When I see you again
And oh wow has it hit even closer to home. Especially this line:
"I know you're in a better place and it's always gonna hurt.
Carry on, give me all the strength I need.
To carry on."
