Still A Being

When I look back
Down that track of time
I see every memory of mine
And yes somehow I live it all again
And it is now and not away back when
You wore flaring trousers and high shoes
Hair down to your shoulders, sang the blues
Rocked to rolling music as you played
Today as if today those times have stayed
In my heart and way deep in my soul
We still sing together rock and roll
Time went by we had a lovely son
Who rocked the stage when he was barely one
Then in time we had a bonnie lassie
A voice just like an angel, oh so classy
We had rough times together you and I
Sometimes they were so bad that I would cry
But you would go and make a cup of tea
Saying `Here hen, drink it and ye`ll be,
Aw better and there`s nae need now tae shout,
That tea hen, that`ll sort ye out.`
I couldn`t help but laugh and things were grand
I knew you were the best man in the land
Our love was kind of up and down like most
If tea was not enough you made some toast
Then of course there was that lovely stew
I never could stay angry long at you.
You see my darling in my heart you`re here
And you will be with me always year on year
Today is special forty years have gone
Since I first saw your smile and heard your song
Now my love I feel I`m getting old
Sometimes I feel so low and sometimes cold
I long to see your face across from me
But that will never happen don`t you see
I have to look within to find you there
That is why I sometimes seem to stare
Out into space, when really I am seeing
Inside my head that you are still a being
Of substance, I can touch and feel and see
And that way you can come right back to me
Happy anniversary my love
Hope that you can see me from above
And somehow send to me a loving prayer
And something just to show me, you are there
