And his brain started to crawl away
Through his eyes and his ears and the things he’d say
He was big and strong and cared for you
Til he couldn’t laugh or tie his shoes
You visited and held his hands
While the years performed their terrible dance
Then one day “Danny Boy” came on
And breathed his last did old Jim Gaughan
I never met him but I know that he was here
He was dear
And he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was!
And I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am!
She was living in her house alone
When the sickness got into her bones
We wept with her then moved her bed
To the front room where the light gets in
The months flew by and the weeks just crawled
Some days she wouldn’t move at all
She watched for birds and watched for deer
Then one day she was gone from here
Found letters that she wrote to Santa when she was just a little kid
Yes I did
And she was, she was, she was, she was, she was, she was, she was, she was!
And I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am!
