TO MARGARET |
LyricsTO MARGARET(Ponton/Papageorge) VERSE#1: Margaret's door was always open You were always welcome there And people came across the ocean And lived within her care She used to stroll us down the block When we were very small Mending hearts and mending knees Whenever we would fall VERSE#2: Margaret came so long ago From the Emerald Isle When Irish friends came to call She'd greet them with her smile They'd have a drink and share a laugh And dance a waltz or two And Margaret always sang a song Before the night was through CHORUS: Margaret you are here with me In everything I do And I know I will never lose The memory of you (Instrumental) VERSE#3: Margaret passed away in winter Tea cup by her side A simple end to a simple life In gentle peace she died She owned no banks or fancy cars No office did she hold But it's Margaret I will think of most As I myself grow old (Repeat Chorus) (c)2009 Once in a Lifetime Music (BMI) |
