You were the leader, you were my number one
And even on a day as this, from above we feel the sun
We have shared our days for eleven years, yet this day I could not see
Because if not for you, a different man I would be.

So now is the time my friend, to send you on your way
To brighten the lives of others in a place so far away
Talk to Nicco and Bear sometimes and tell them not to cry
That one day you will see them again and with wings of angels fly.

I will miss you my friend, but you will always be with me
Deep within my soul where only I can see
Cosmo Cosmo, daddy's big boy, we will always love you
Nicco and Bear and daddy and everyone that ever met you.

Sleep with the angels, buddy, I will see you again one day.
