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

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
