Leave Out All the Rest

These are the lyrics to a song below that has helped me get through a tough week of losing a friend to alcoholism and liver disease. He was 34 years old, Marshall Ray Morris. I pray his time could have been longer on this earth and I would of realized sooner it was the end. We would all do things differently I believe. If you would like to hear the song please scroll down to the very bottom of my blog page and you can find it on my play list. His funeral is today.
"Leave Out All The Rest"
I dreamed I was missingYou were so scared
But no one would listenCause no one else cared
After my dreamingI woke with this fear
What am I leavingWhen I'm done here
So if you're asking meI want you to know
[Chorus]When my time comesForget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind someReasons to be missed
And don't resent meAnd when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memoryLeave out all the restLeave out all the rest
[End Chorus]Don't be afraidI've taken my beating
I've shared what I madeI'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfectBut neither have you
So if you're asking meI want you to know
[Chorus]When my time comesForget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind someReasons to be missed
Don't resent meAnd when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memoryLeave out all the restLeave out all the rest
[End Chorus]ForgettingAll the hurt insideYou've learned to hide so well
PretendingSomeone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
[Chorus]When my time comesForget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind someReasons to be missed
Don't resent meAnd when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memoryLeave out all the restLeave out all the rest
ForgettingAll the hurt insideYou've learned to hide so well
PretendingSomeone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you areI can't be who you are

  2. I did not know his first name was Marshall. This song is very befitting.
