I think about you all the time
Not a single day ever goes by
That you don’t cross my mind
I think about you all the time

I still can’t believe it’s true
Where have you gone man, I haven’t a clue
I’m still looking all around
Expecting you to show up somewhere in this town

Chorus:
All I did was look away
When I looked back
You had slipped away

A couple of days after my brother had passed
He came to me in a dream
Sitting across the kitchen table
He was singing a song
But nobody’s listening but me

It was the sweetest song I think I’ve ever heard
My brother was singing it just for me
And all of a sudden we both began to cry
As if we knew this was the very last time

Chorus:
All I did was look away
When I looked back
He had slipped away

Bridge

So if I only have just this one day
I want to spend it with you
Drag out a couple guitars
And let us play
Some old good ole tunes

And I guess I’ve never been so low
Worked so hard at feeling sorry for myself
As if I was the one who died
Maybe I thought I was the only one who cried

But now I know I’m not the only one missing you
There’s still a lot of people down here loving you
So if you can hear my song
Know we’ll all catch up to you bro’
It won’t be long

Chorus:
All I did was look away
When I looked back
Stanley had slipped away

Bridge

So if I only have just this one day
I want to spend it with you
Drag out a couple guitars
And let us play some old Neverly Brother tunes

Chorus:
All I did was look away
When I looked back
My brother had slipped away
