In memory of Tony Anderson (RIP), a friend in our tennis group who committed suicide when we were all teenagers. – Stevie J

Lyric Video


TONY

Stevie J Mayer

I’ve been thinking about Tony all night
It must have been real bad to have to die
And leave us no word
But Tony, we all understand
Tony, it takes a man

And if he could come back right now what would he say?
I wonder if he’ll regret it some day
We’ll never know for sure
But Tony, did what he thought best
Tony, God bless

You know at times, we’ve all wished that we were dead
But few of us go through with what we said
So why, tell me why, tell me why did he die?
Whatever the reason, only God and he will know

And as I sit here right now I see his face
Such a young man with so much in place
It bothers me to think
But Tony, must have made a vow
Tony, are you happy now?

[INSTRUMENTAL]

But Tony’s troubles never ceased
Tony, rest in peace

I know at times, we’ve all wished that we were dead
But few of us go through with what we said
Why, tell me why, tell me why did he die ?
Whatever the reason…

Only God and he will know
Only God and he will know
Only God and he will know…
