Hey Zeus



Hey Zeus
Let’s you and me
Go out and play catch for a while
It can’t hurt, it might help
And I don’t know if
We’ll ever get the chance again
We might never get the chance again

It’s all in the stars now
Let’s don’t make it hard now
It’s better if we don’t pretend
Let’s say our goodbyes now
Cause I don’t know if
We’ll ever get the chance again
We might never get the chance again

Hey Zeus
Let’s you and me
Go out and play catch for a while
It can’t hurt, it might help
And I don’t know if
We’ll ever get the chance again

It’s hard to imagine
A world without us
But that’s just a matter of time
Don’t wait till tomorrow
Just beg steal or borrow
The memories of good times and friends

I may have regrets
But I won’t forget
The way that you made me smile
I’ll always remember
That cold, hard, December
When I first laid eyes on your smile
You moved right in to my heart
And I knew that you would be there for a while

I never regretted our long road together
And now that I’m on the last mile
I hope you’ll be happy
I hope you’ll be safe
And you’ll think of me once in a while

Hey Zeus
Let’s you and me
Go out and play catch for a while
It can’t hurt
It might help
And I don’t know if
We’ll ever get the chance again
We might never get the chance again
