Lyrics This One's for You - The Fureys, Davey Arthur

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, that kind of rock
That made this island’s name
And 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
The glass or two buddy, to stir the memory
And though my eyes can’t see you, in my heart you’ll always be
And with so many precious moments, I don’t know where to start
'Cause Paul you played the kind of way that walked right through the heart
And with a pint and a spoof, you were living proof of how to play the game
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
The glass or two brother, to stir the memory
And though my eyes can’t see you, in my heart you’ll always be
And the real old fashioned lady, with goodness through and through
Ma you were the greatest woman that I ever knew
You handed me my 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, to stir the memory,
And though my eyes can’t see you in my heart you’ll always be
