Sing about Carolyn

Lyrics

I met you back in seventy three

You were very dear to me

We became married three years on

Had a daughter, then a son

We worked together as a team

To make our family life a dream

So here’s to you my life partner

My soul-mate, my wife.

You never had to tell me the way,

Silently you guided me each day,

You always had the right words,

Spoken quietly but always heard,

I learned all I needed from you,

You helped me find the right thing to do,

So here’s to you my role model,

My moral compass, My Mum

Chorus

Maybe we can’t heal the hurt,

But we can think about her,

What a lovely thing to think,

She would never sing about herself,

But we can sing about her,

What a lovely thing to sing,

Sing about Carolyn.

Francis said something funny today,

And Michael made up a new game to play,

And I should be telling you this,

That’s a thing I’m going to miss,

You understood me intuitively,

Heard what I said when I  was brushing my teeth,

So here’s to you my companion,

My sounding board, My Mum

I wish we could still play with you,

Rolling the ball was what I most liked to do,

You were helpful you looked after us,

And you gave us great big hugs,

We love you grandma Carolyn,

We loved our holidays and all that we did,

So here’s to you our heavenly star,

Our playmate, Our grandma

Chorus

Maybe we can’t heal the hurt,

But we can think about her,

What a lovely thing to think,

She would never sing about herself,

But we can sing about her,

What a lovely thing to sing,

Maybe we can heal the hurt,

Because we think about her,

What a lovely thing to think,

She would never sing about herself,

But we can sing about her,

What a lovely thing to sing,

Sing about Carolyn.
