This is a message from your mother, Stephen
Um, everyone, and from your grandmother
And, uh, um... uh
Contacting you now, 'cause I'm now up heavenly bowers
Up in the, uh... back row
Dress Circle
Yeah
Tryna write this verse about you, I'd be lyin'
If I said that it was easy, said I wasn't cryin'
'Cause even though I know you're up above with Aunty D
The part that hurts the most is knowin' that you're not with me
You're like my second mum, I truly owe you
Everything that I've become, today was not the same without you, one
More minute I need it, without you my heart is beatin'
A little softer this evenin', a vacant space that you're leavin'
I miss you and it's barely been a day
But I can tell you that today was not the same as any other I've had
'Cause every other day except this one
We both watched that settin' sun, but now I'm here on my own
And I know, that you're up in the clouds
And when it's rainin', know I'm doing you proud
And when it's stormin' I just know that you're all up there
Playin' it loud
Your legacy is all alive in us now, so we live on
So we toast to the ones that we miss, and
Now your name's sittin' up on that list, I miss visitin' you
Sittin' by you on the couch since I was a kid
The best hugs and goodbye with a kiss
Before I'd leave I'd always hope that I would see you again
And never took your life for granted, not once
And the other week I saw you seemin' pretty close to the end
I had a feelin' you'd be leaving above, goodbye the Queen that we love
My grandchildren
Lots of love from your nan
Thinking of ya
Smiling at your dad as he takes my picture
Have a great time tonight, okay?
And enjoy whatever is dished out to you
Love ya
Yeah
But I don't wanna say goodbye, so I won't
Every grandmother's great, but to me, you're the goat
Kept my promise that I made to you that when you passed
I'd give you a poke
Just in case you'd wake up, but you won't
I'm glad that you can see Pop, Granny, Grandpa and Ed, see
Upstairs is gettin' full, but down here, it is empty
But I'm glad you're out of pain, and I'm sure we'll see you soon
We'll meet again by the roses in the valley of the moon
Who's gonna burn my toast and make the Milos like that?
'Cause you're the one I miss the most, and I'm alright with the fact
That I'ma see you someday, but, for now, it just hurts
Knowin' that you'll never even lay your ears on this verse
I played you "Signs of Life" while holdin' your hand
The same hands that you held before you moulded the man
I owe you everything, because of you, I am who I am
Luckiest man alive who got to call you his Nan, I love you
If you can't find me to talk to face to face
Just look up to the sky
And there you'll find me smiling above the clouds
And I hope this smile is a very warm one for you
Because I love you all so much. All right?
That's it
And, uh, want to contact me again?

Just get Stephen to bring his phone and he'll get ya
