READ DESCRIPTION:
This is a tribute to my granddad who passed away a few days ago, on Thursday, 22nd September, at 7pm. He has been battling cancer for 2 years. Despite this he still ran a half-marathon last year around this time.
He was an amazing man. He was very well respected as a person personally and in his job. My granddad was a very accomplished journalist, wrote a book, had TV appearances and knew very powerful people.
Unfortunately, he was taken away from us too quickly. He just celebrated his 69th birthday on the 1st August.
I am singing "No one but you" for my granddad because I feel he died far too young and that he had so much to give still.
Most of these pictures in the video are from last year.
I love you granddad. You will be missed!!!!!!!!!!
♫LYRICS:
A hand above the water
An angel reaching for the sky
Is it raining in Heaven
Do you want us to cry
And everywhere the broken-hearted
On every lonely avenue
No one could reach them
No one but you
One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying to close to the sun
Life goes on
Without you
Another tricky situation
I get to drowning in the blues
And I find myself thinking
Well, what would you do?
Yes, it was such an operation
Forever paying every due
Hell, you made a sensation (sensation!)
You found a way through (found a way through)
All:
And one by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying too close to the sun
Meat:
And, We'll remember, forever
And now the party must be over
I guess we'll never understand
The sense of your leaving
Was it the way it was planned?
And so we grace another table
And raise our glasses one more time
There's a face at the window
And I ain't never, never saying goodbye
All:
One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying too close to the sun
Meat:
Crying for nothing
Crying for no one
No one but you
Beautiful...just beautiful....
What a great song you've picked to give your grandfather a wonderful tribute.
My condolences to you and your family.
