David Letterman's tribute to 

Robbin Williams

Life is not a box of chocolates

It's more like a rocket

Takes all your strength

Getting off the ground

You feel alone in the corner

You ain't go not choice

Just when you give up,

You hear a voice

Hit the ball like Mickey Mantel

Come back Mickey Rourke

Soar high Commerce Comet

The whole world's missing Mork

Mend your friendships

Mend your fences

Strengthen your defenses

Batten down the hatches

And sail in to the storm

Don't go picking fights

Pick the battles you can win

Pick the friends you can count on

Time and time again

You do like David Letterman 
You count to ten
You get on up and come on out
Time and time again

Life is like a yo-yo

Going north and going south

Be tough and you remember

No one punches Mickey's mouth

You're a boxer, you're a fighter

You're a wrestler, you're all right dear

You don't just lie there,

You get up off the ground

You only throw a punch

When you don't have a line

You crawl back inch by inch

You let your own star shine

We're missing Mickey Mantle

The whole world's missing Mork

We need more comeback kids

So thank you Mickey Rourke

Life is not a box chocolates

Life's not that sweet

Life's a lot about

Getting on your feet

Life's a one way ticket

No refunds or exchange

The best that you can do

Is make it back by making change

Life is like a rocket

Flying to the moon

If you ain't there yet

You'll get there soon

Once you get into the sky

You let that rocket fly!
