lyrics

I wish I could take those leaves
And put them back on the trees
Watch it be summer all over again

You lit up the night sky on the 4th of July
Those nights were so crazy
With just a couple of friends

I made a promise never to fight with my brother again
It always makes me sad when I do
Bari you should know you were one of he greatest friends I had
I thought you should know I didn't want you to go

But I'm not dying for you now
I'm not dying for you now
I'm not dying for you dying for you dying for you now

You were one of a kind
And I don't think you ever knew
How much love we all have for you

You said goodbye to the ground
But you forgot to wear your wings
Now I'm stuck down here without you

I made pact with my friends to always keep in touch
But sometimes those plans they may fall through
Bari a friend like you has always meant so much
I thought you should know I didn't want you to go
