Lyrics

Full Heart Empty Flask
My son walked with his mom today
Then came his bride and her dad down the aisle
All I could wish for played out through sweet tears
under bright September smiles
Then as the party began
Beer or wine they would ask
But this day was meant for sharing good whiskey
So I... reached for my flask
They moved with their parents to John's "In My Life"
Their second dance as husband and wife
Surrounded by friends, family and love
On a beautiful September night
As the party went on
And as each moment passed
My heart was full and I love a good whiskey
Once more... I reached for my flask
(Bridge) It's not so hard letting go...
the future shares love with the past
It's just getting through that transition
That takes a full heart and an empty flask
Yeah... It takes a full heart and an empty flask
I just want my son to be happy
My dream for him since he was young
Today brings together two lifetimes of joy
Especially since he's found 'the one'...
yeah he found the one
As the party wound down
I had all I could ask
A lifetime of memories and love that would last
A full heart and an empty flask...
