Letter from a Friend Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Taquito 

Cover art for Letter from a Friend lyrics by Blues Traveler

This song was written for Bill Graham, a famed music promoter whose son Dave was over-grieving over his father's death in a helicopter accident. It simply says that grief should be brief, and that life must carry on, just as Bill would have wanted Dave to do. I think it's a beautiful song that should be played at funerals.
