LIFE WITHOUT YOU

Well hello baby, Tell me, How have you been? 
We all have missed you, And the way you grin. 
The day is necessary, Every now and then,
For souls to move on, Given life back again. 

Fly on, Fly on, Fly on my friend, 
Go on, Go on and live again, Love again. 
Cause day after day, Night after night, 
Sittin' here singin', every, every minute, 

As the years go passin' by, by, by, by, 
A long look in the mirror, We come face to face, 
Wishin' our love we took for granted. 
A love we had yesterday, Cause Life Without You, 

All the love, you've passed our way, 
Angels have waited, for so long 
Now they have their way 
Take your place....

{"SECOND CHANCE"}

Why should be
Just a memory
It's like a bell that keeps on ringing
Calling me...

But I believe
What I can see...
And I can feel the warmth of love
Surrounding me...

So tonight I lay me down to sleep...
And pray my soul to keep...
In that your love will rescue me, for the rest of my life...
I live to say good bye...
To all the promises left behind...
Here we are you and I...
A second chance...

I have changed (I have changed)
But take the blame (take the blame)
For all the words left and spoken through the pain...
I played the game and lost and spayed
But I have cleansed myself by walking through the rain

So tonight I lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul to keep...
In that your love will rescue me, for the rest of my life...
I live to say good bye...
To all the promises left behind...
Here we are you and I...
A second chance...

If you listen there's a melody in how you live your life(how you live your life)
You can write the song you want to hear
And I pray (pray)
To live mine
So in the mirror speaks
It tells me you have faced your inner fears
And in loving this song

So tonight I lay me down to sleep and pray my soul to keep...
In that your love will rescue me, for the rest of my life...
I live to say good bye...
To all the promises left behind...
Here we are you and I...

No I not giving up...
I am here to stay...

A second chance...
A second chance...
A second chance...

The "Seven Foot Man" with the 8 foot heart. He touched our lives in different ways. He accepted all of us for who we were. It was easy to make a complete ass of yourself in front of him and not worry about being ridiculed...at least once everyone (including him) stopped laughing.

Big Mike was famous for his work at 97.1 Talk Radio. He worked as the "on location" guy for the Frosty, Heidi & Frank show and his custom chopper was used for the Tom Lykis "Lykettes" calendar.

I have listed this record as an ongoing way for all of us; his friends; to pay respects and keep in touch with the
"Big" man. Feel free to post photos and leave messages.

We love you Mike!

{ When A Friend Bids Goodbye }

My dear friend,
close your eyes...
hold my hand,
and hear me whisper...

For the times I was lost,
you were there to look for me.
Will you believe me when I say I love you more than you'll ever know.
Will you trust me when I say ...this time you have to let me go.

My dear friend, I must leave.
The world no longer needs me.
It's my time to be gone, until we meet again someday.
Don't you cry now, I know I'll be okay.
Trust that I'll never forget you.
Don't be sad now, just close your eyes until it's through.
Hold my hand, don't open your eyes yet...
wait when I no longer whisper..

My dear friend, you'll be fine.
I'll be up there watching over you.
For the times I'll be gone, don't ever forget
the words I whispered to you.

God calls on my name... and I have to let go of your hand now...
Please don't cry... and smile for me..
because I'm with the one who made us friends.

Remember, I'll always love you.
so come, wave me goodbye...
It'll be painful but we have to...
Hug me, hug me tight, feel the words I can no longer say.

My dear friend, I'm going to miss you.
just pray because I'll always listen.
and one day, when it's your time,
I'll be there for you...
Just like the way I used to.
...I LOVE YOU...

Your Love Will Be Passed On...
You are with me everyday,
I feel you with every breath,
Your thought is with me,
With every decision I make.

You have been with me until now,
And it is hard to face,
That you are finally gone,
And I will never see you again.

Your hands, your touch, your smile,
Are things I will never forget,
All the love you shared with me,
And all the tears and pain you made go away.

In our short time together,
All the memories we had,
Will last in my heart,
Those memories I will never forget.

Although you have left,
Now you walk above,
You are always with me,
I'm always surrounded by your love.

Now you don't have to worry,
For your love will be passed on,
'Cause even though you left me,
You are Always in my Heart.

***Heaven
I took a trip to heaven
But only in my mind
I wanted to know what it's like
To leave all you love behind.
So I closed my eyes, and started to see
Just how beautiful heaven can be.

I could see the pearly gates of white
and behind them was the most radiant light.
I saw an angel as she was passing by
so incredibly beautiful that a tear fell from my eye.
Everyone looked perfect and with the angels they did sing
There are no earthly words to describe the beauty of their wings.

As I sat on a bench in the most incredible garden
I asked God for all of my sins to be pardoned
I took one last look at all of the beauty around
And when I opened my eyes, it was peace that I found.
