(It's only me Sam)
(Just to wish you a happy birthday)
(And I'll talk to you soon)
Austin, or should I call you Grandad?
You stopped the good from going bad
Austin, or should I call you Michael?
You were this boy's idol
Austin, or Mr Upton?
Remember those days in London
I do, oh I do
All the words I would have said
If I could sit by your bed
All the words I had to say
If you'd another day
We'd sit over there
(Only me again Sam, I'll catch you one of these days)
And you would stroke my hair
Tell me many things
Stories of dragons and kings
I had so much to tell you
So many things I'm sure you knew
But most of all I would have tried
Just to be near your side
(Hi Sam, it's only me) Hey now, the memories not gone
(When you've got a moment give me a ring back because I'm having trouble with my phone)
I'll keep it
(Okay)
Going strong
Like you, strongest I knew
Like you, my baby blue
The HMS Belfast
The best days out
Now they're past
Imperial War Museum
A canon
A tank
A mausoleum
Saint Pauls, the Cutty Sark
The Spitfire
The Messerschmitt
The Bismarck
The Tower of London
We've been and done it
The Monument
We climbed to the summit
And we saw things
Things just for us
You were mine, I was yours
And that was enough
I know things were tough in the end
But I want you to know that you are still my best friend
That morning I thought I could maybe share
But I found it was like I was talking to the air
'Cus you weren't there
You weren't there
You weren't there
You weren't there
You were somewhere else
I know it
I know
'Cus I know you
And I know what you'd do
I know what you'd do
(Hi, it's only Grandad, Sam)
(I'll catch you later)
