The first time we met
We were only first graders
By lunch time you bet
We boys were like brothers
But it wouldn’t be long
Something was wrong
His hair fell in December
Miss D made him a crown
With Scotch tape and paper
We acted like clowns
No it didn’t take long
That he was gone
I remember your time
I remember the moment
When you bravely became the strongest
And I’ll remember you friend
You’re the Paper Crown King
All he wanted was to be
Be a big strong fireman
To drive that red truck
And save people like Superman
He became my hero
At seven years old
Those beautiful memories that you’ve left behind
Are few but vast like the sea
Your time cut short, life can be so unkind
Those smiles you had set you free
I remember your time
I remember the moment
When you bravely became the strongest
And I’ll remember you friend
You’re the Paper Crown King
It was on Valentine’s day
An empty desk in class
Our teacher made us pray
She said he won’t be coming back
No it didn’t take long
That he was gone
I remember your time
I remember the moment
When you bravely became the strongest
And I’ll remember you friend
You’re the Paper Crown King
