Were they Happy tears falling from above
That the Cubs finally won and redemption
I remember the dreams
"Someday I well play in the Majors"
We shared the dream Ronnie
You me and Larry
I remember you and Larry at my front door
Daily games of three at Rainier playfield
The three man game
Pitcher Catcher and short left fielder
If we found a fourth we had a shortstop
Over the head a home run
The ball caught and out
Struck out you lost bat control
You crushed the ball even then Ronnie
And you did make the Major leagues
Ron Santo Hall of Fame third baseman for the Cubs
It would be raining out the game went on
But the World series denied for you
Well Ronnie tonight the Cubbies won
They are mentioning your name
I remember that young boy dreaming
"Some day I well be in the World Series"
The Cubbie's finally win the World Series
