Oh What A Life

This was written for me and put to music by my son Don Nicolson who is 29 and a singer songwriter. Watch out for him on the tele one day soon.

verse 1
Oh what a life, your daddy passed away when you were twelve years old
If he`s looking down from heaven his heart would overflow,
you had so far to go.

Oh what a life, you took trouble in your stride but always kept control
So many children took your blood, but you still loved us all,
with a heart of gold
Your heart of gold

Chorus
So let the bells ring out and let the drummers beat
Let the great fall down, right at your feet
`Cause no-one could have done it
Live a life so full of pain
With words so full of wisdom you just took it on the chin
You may have cried at home when you were all alone
But you get up and try again
So to me you are incredible
I will love you for all time
May the stars shine only for you now
Oh Mother mine

verse 2
Oh what a life
Be proud of your achievments your story`s far from told
You give more than you recieve, more than you`ll ever know
You`ll ever know

Chorus
