about

This song is written for and dedicated to the memory of Tom Willems who was killed in a senseless car accident when a kid was pulled out to pass in a no passing zone on a two lane highway just after six a.m. on December 4th, 2017.

Both the Columbia, Missouri chapter of the NSAI song circle and the GYAWS facebook group had prompts about "beginnings" or "new beginnings" in December 2017.

lyrics

You were heading off to work
Early one Monday morning
Some kid pulled out to pass
And hit you without warning
And the newspaper said
You were too young to be gone
Too young to be gone

Now it's early New Year's day
Another year is beginning
I'm sitting all alone
Can't help but keep on thinking
It's hard to go on
When I think how much you meant
How much you meant to me

I don't want a new beginning
If it starts without you
I long to see you laugh and smile
All the funny things you'd do
I don't want a new beginning
If it means I'm losing you
But I'll stand right up and start my day
Because you'd want me to

I don't want a new beginning
If it starts without you
I long to see you laugh and smile
All the funny things you'd do
I don't want a new beginning
If it means I'm losing you
But I'll stand right up and live my life
Because you'd want me to
I'll stand right up and live my life
Because you'd want me to
