It’s a little bit funny, this song just for you

I’m just one of those, who gets, easily blue

It’s been  many years now since we met 

I’d buy that old days back,  without regret

 

Schoolfriend of my brother, who learned me play guitar

I was very curious, when you,  came from so far

You came by bus, from a world in sweet black

You carried guitar, yes, nice on your back

 

And I can tell everyody, though time is far done

This passage in life was, a bright little sun

I wish you good time

For the rest of your life

Your passion for music,  hope, will never die

 

 Your love for the beatles, ‘your song’ from Elton John

A gift, for the future, well, the music to come

Recordings were made but pity, ‘re gone astray

But memories of lovely times, don’t go away

 

So, forgive coquetting, but that’s how I feel

You see I won’t forget what you,  teached and was real

Anyway the thing is, what many years remind

The passion for music - you gave me so kind

 

And I can tell everyody, though time is far done

This passage in life was, a bright little sun

I wish you good time

For the rest of your life

Your passion for music,  hope, will never die

 

I wish you good time

For the rest of your life

Your passion for music,  hope, will never die
