James Reeder - Not the Pain Lyrics

Been a year since I lost him
The sadness and sorrow
They don't seem to go away
Still hangin in the air

Had a dream just the other night
One more chance to be together
My old friend, my companion
One more memory to share

It's not the pain that I'm feeling
Not the sadness or the sorrow
It's the joy that I knew him
The adventures that we shared

We'd walk in the back woods
Scare the mourning doves and squirrels
Throw ourselves in the river
Dry off in country air

I know you are goin' through
Some hard times on your own now
Feels like the world is turned
Completely upside down

I feel for what you're goin' through
I seen all your sorrow
But as times passes I promise you
Good memories stick around

It's not the pain that I'm feeling
Not the sadness or the sorrow
It's the joy that I knew him
The adventures that we shared

We'd walk in the back woods
Scare the mourning doves and squirrels
Throw ourselves in the river
Dry off in country air

I wish I had the words to say
To make the whole thing go away
I know my pain it don't compare
Don't make no sense, it don't seem fair

But we roll down this gravel road
Singin songs and stories told
Remembering the good times there
Just walkin' though the pain we share

It's not the pain that I'm feeling
Not the sadness or the sorrow
It's the joy that I knew him
The adventures that we shared

We'd walk in the back woods
Scare the mourning doves and squirrels
Throw ourselves in the river
Dry off in country air
