about

"Emil" by SoundRabbit, live duo acoustic in Boulder, Colorado.

lyrics

Emil laughs and downs his medicine
A hundred years, with few ahead of him
I bring dessert, the same as every day,
But now his face grows tired and he says,

"You know, my dad - he always used to say,
'Son, don't get old.'
It's funny how today
His words mean more to me than yesterday,"

And with that Emil went to sleep for good.

The bright lights flash, no time to swerve away,
5 years old, the stone will mark the day;
The 6th year passed without an hour of play,
The questions steal a mother's life a way

Middle aged at 25 he sailed
Along in life, the future yet unveiled
At 51, his final breath exhaled
The chapter closed and left us reeling

Well here I am, here at the end of it.
Yes here I am, here at the end of it,
Can I just have one moment more?
My wife is coming in the door,
I'd like to tell her...
