This One’s For You.
Ah you turn the pages of your life,
See friend’s that come and go,
But that sir you are just a man,
That everyone should know.
From perfect stock, the kind of rock,
That made this island’s name,
But though the sun shone bright for you,
You left us just the same.
This one’s for you buddy, where ever you may be,
I never really told you what your friendship meant to me.
A glass or two buddy, are to stir the memory,
And though my eyes can’t see you, in my heart you’ll always be.
With so many treasured moments, I just don’t know where to start,
‘Cause Paul you played the kind of way that walked right through my heart,
And with a pint and a spoof, you were living proof of how to play the game,
And with so much left to give the world, you left us just the same.
This one’s for you brother, where ever you may be.
I never really told you what your music meant to me.
A glass or two brother, are to stir the memory,
And though my eyes can’t see you, in my heart you’ll always be.
A real old fashioned lady, with goodness through and through,
Ma you were the greatest woman that I ever knew.
You handed me the gift of life and helped me stake my claim.
I never thought you’d go away, but you left us just the same.
This one’s for you mammy, where ever you may be.
I never really told you what your loving meant to me.
A glass or two mammy, are to stir the memory,
And though my eyes can’t see you, in my heart you’ll always be.
(Repeat last verse)
