Based around dark humor [crazy glue...] spoken about my mother-in-law around the time of her wake, she did always say that you have to keep your sense of humor.

lyrics

You were the crazy glue that kept the family strong. You were the stitch that sewn us in but now you’re gone. I said I’d carry you on toward heaven’s shore along the path you since laid out years before. High above the sound of hearts breakin’ now you‘re gone and I just can’t take it. You were the firebrand that warmed our souls at night. You were the spark that led us out into starlight. And now with papers strewn across the hardwood floor the crossword all crossed out you know I want more. High above the sound of hearts breakin’ now you‘re gone and I just can’t take it. And if heaven’s banks are dry. Turning water into wine. You could come on back to me ‘cuz I still see you in my dreams. You were the crazy glue that kept us holding on. You were the family stone that bled and now you’re gone.
