From a Sad Man to Another
October 13th, 1999


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you remember, Vincent?
The day when the doctor picked you up and said,
Welcome to this thankless world.

I remember me and the chills
And the people pretending to be happy.
But this was not as long ago.

So I guess it's been harder for you.
Sleeping so long I can't even say I've lived.
Always sad but never desperate.

Do you remember, Vincent?
Lovely face, eager faces, and that grin on Jenova,
Welcome to this crazy world.

I remember me and the school bags
And the people pretending to be friendly.
But this was not as long ago.

And I hope it's not harder for you.
Thinking back to the days of illusion,
Of when awareness hadn't come.

Do you remember, Vincent?
The ring, the words, and that kiss in the yard,
Welcome to this twisted world.

I remember me and the boat
And the people pretending to be sorry.
But this was not as long ago.

So I hope it's not different for you.
To realize that it was all worth it,
That if you're sad now, sadder you were.

For the moon goes round and round every night,
Leaving moments behind, but the endless one stays
To let you realize that your life's not been wasted.

And the sun goes up and down every year,
Leaving sorrow around, but just for that moment
Please realize that we're still here for you...


Let this day be happy at least, Vincent...
