They say there is reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way we feel,
For no-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried,
We must tell you something,
So there won’t be any doubt,
You’re so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.
Forever in our hearts, Faye, Nick, Maisie, Louie, Betta, Gianni.
