    Story Behind the Song
    Recording this song took 2 nights. The solo was actually improvised as it was being recorded. Actually, all of Ben's parts were recorded in one night... Rob's [Darke] vocals were what took longer...

    Lyrics
    I tied my hair back so you'll recognize me
    I know you're holding on to say goodbye
    You ask us to celebrate your life, and we will

    I know you're strong, holding on
    But don't you shed a tear for me

    I still remember your laughter
    And the things you would say
    And from here, ever after, it'll be okay

    Where shall you lie?
    And she said... "on top of the world"
    Where shall you lie?
    And she said... "on top of the world"

    We made it on time
    And now you should leave
    It's time for new beginnings
    Although it feels like the end
    For me, for you, for all...

    Still photography, cigarettes, and coffee
    Remind me of you...

    I still remember your laughter
    And all the things you would say...
    And from here, ever after
    It'll be okay...

    Lyrics by Ben Mecham (C) 1999
