Lyrics

What's this? It's a letter. I can see it's a letter! You can open it if you want. Thank God for that, the suspense was killing me. It's from me mam. Your mam? She wrote for us when I was 18. Except I couldn't wait I see. You can read it if you want. Read it out. Dear Billy I must seem a distant memory Which is? Which is probably a good thing And it will have been a long- A long time. And I will have missed you growing, And I'll have missed you crying And I'll have missed you laugh. Missed your stomping and your shouting, I'll have missed telling you off, But please Billy, Know that I was always there. I was with you through everything. And please, Billy... But please, Billy Know that I will always be Proud to have known you Proud that you were mine Proud in everything And you must promise me this, Billy In everything you do Always be yourself, Billy And you always will be true And I'll have missed you growing, I'll have missed you crying And I'll have missed you laugh. Missed your stomping and your shouting, I'll have missed telling you off, But please, Billy, Know that I was always there. I was with you through everything. And please, Billy, Know that I will always be. Proud to have known you. Love you forever. Love you forever. Mam She must have been a very special woman. No, she was just me mam.
