One of a kind Lyrics

Can it really be a year has flown

Since you departed leaving us alone together

For though we have each other you're not here

How we miss your presence your good cheer

Such positivity

I hope you knew just what you mean to me

You were one of a kind

And what we had I thought I'd never find

Despite misunderstandings you became a friend of mine

And I feel blessed and happy

It happened in time

I wish I'd got to know you better

You had so many stories to tell

But we cannot resist the passage of the years

That final bell

You lived a long life and you lived it well

But you know the time is never right

To accept that you are really gone

You're never coming back

Perhaps I'll meet that man again

That's up to fate who knows what waits

But until then his memory and legacy I'll celebrate

If I see him on a darkening track

I'll be dreaming for he's not coming back

Though somehow it seems he's never gone away

Safe in my heart and mind he'll always stay

Reminiscences, memories so dear to me

I wish I had so many more to share

But the chance is gone for he's no longer there

Would that I'd had more time to show him how I cared

But a journey's reached an end

For a father and a friend

I thank you for the gifts you brought

I thank you for the lessons taught

I wish I'd heard all you had to tell

But now it's time to say farewell

Farewell
