From the recording FAWM 2024
Our eldest is preparing to move to the west coast and begin a new life. This song is half fatherly advice, and half heartfelt message that he's going to be missed.
Lyrics
You're spreading your wings
And you're ready to fly
Eager to tackle this journey called life
Your mom and your dad
We're just a phone call away
Though thousands of miles will soon separate
It's not the distance that matters most
Hold on to the memories, while making more
You've found a girl,
And she''s captured your heart
Son, she's a keeper, though times can be hard
It's not the distance that comes between
Hold on to those feelings, strongest as a team
She's gonna get mad, and I know you will too
Talk out your troubles, so it can't undo you
Creating a distance that's too hard to cross
Hold on to each other, remember your love
It's not the distance that matters most
Hold on to the memories, while making more
