Wait, so how did the card

get inside the box?

Oh, please, Jeremy,

you left your bag in my car

So many times.

That reminds me.

Oswald wanted me

to mail this to you, but...

So it's goodbye again.

Where are you going?

Me? Off to the next job.

Thank you, Jeremy.

You're thanking me?

For what?

For letting me see the world

through your eyes.

You got a pretty

amazing life ahead of you.

# come sing me a song

# and I will do anything

you ask me to #

# oh, yeah

# oh, yeah

# come give us a smile

# a million eyes shining down

won't see you frown #

# oh, yeah

# oh, yeah

# your love's got a hold

on me #

# and there's nothing

I can be #

# without your love

# without your love

# without your love

# without your love

# come sell us a dream

# I'd buy it now

and feel so proud #

# oh, yeah

# oh, yeah...

# we're on a Journey #

# better take the long way

# there's so much here

to explore #

# waiting to discover

# all the secrets

to uncover #

# everything that you're

searching for #

# looking for the meaning

# looking for the meaning

# looking for the meaning

of life #

# looking for the meaning

# looking for the meaning

# looking for the meaning

of life #

# life is such a mystery

# we have to find

our own way #

# our own special path

# we can wander

this whole world #

# leaving no Stone unturned

# the answer's within

your grasp #

# looking for the meaning

# looking for the meaning

# looking for the meaning

of life #

# looking for the meaning

# looking for the meaning

# looking for the meaning

of life #
