Eager to learn
Clear skies and cloudy ones, blues skies and black
Passed overhead many times since I’ve come back
Memories and laughter, teardrops and embraces
Good to see all of your friendly familiar faces
Years have been kind to our thoughts of one another
Funny how there was a time you seemed like my brother
Weren’t too many days where we weren’t hanging together
Sharing all those crazy memories you know birds of a feather
I’m going to wake up tomorrow and be back in the life
I love my job, want to buy a house and I found the perfect wife
But I think maybe while I’m sipping my coffee, I’ll fondly recall
Our time reminiscing about our youth, a teardrop may fall
But it’s not borne of inner sadness, nor out of some hidden regret
It’s the happy feeling of the past and people I loved and won’t forget
I’m proud of where I’ve been and thankful I can always return
I can never know too much about you and I’m always eager to learn
