about

A song that was composed the day after hearing an old friend had passed away. The song recalls some events (although too many to mention) that had happened through his life.

There is an acoustic version of this song, a performance that I found very hard to perform on YouTube youtu.be/hGGf9oREHYg

lyrics

He Used To Play Football, As A Younger Man You See
Earned Himself A Nick Name, That Would Last Eternity
He Loved To Do His Artwork, Painting Signs And Pictures Too
Frogs....And Scarecrows ....There Was Nothing He Could Not Do

Eyes So Bright And Blue
You Were Called Away Too Soon

I Went On Holiday For A Week Or Two In June
On My Return My Garden, Had Grown Concrete Mushrooms
He worked On The buildings, And A Grave Digger Too
With The Love Of His Family
It Help To Pull Him Through

Eyes So Bright And Blue
You Were Called Away To Soon

One Day While Golfing, Ho Didn't Feel Quite Well
A Stroke Be fell Him, As far As They Could Tell
So Began The Long Haul, Of Getting Back His Help
No Work, No Money, and Certainly No Wealth

Eyes So Bright And Blue
You Were Called Away Too Soon

Recovery Was Lengthy, But He Got there In The End
Breakfast At The Golf Club, With My Old Friend
One Day A Text Came Through That Stopped Me In My Tracks
It Said "Studs Has Passed On" Twas Nothing But The Fact

Eyes So Bright And Blue
You Were Called Away Too Soon. x2
