Lyrics

By her hospital bed the last words that she said
A I leant in to say my goodbyes
Left a lasting impression a lifetime worth of lessons
Make the most of it 'cos it'll fly
She asked me a favour to look after ya
And I promised her that I would
I swore there and then I'd pick ya back up again
I'd get ya on the mend in any way I could
But I ain't seen you in weeks
I swear down I'll keep my promise to her
I swear down I'll honour it – I will
Swear down to keep my word
You're my boy, you have been since day one
Football on a Saturday down Springhill field ran by Dave
Was where we first became friends
St Mary's in the afternoon if your brother weren't around to use his ticket
Was weird being in the home end
To youth club in the evening penny sweets and scheming
And trying not to get banned
To sleepovers and PS2 we’d text the girls we thought who
Might chance it on two unlikely lads
But I ain’t seen you in months
I swear down I'll keep my promise to her
I swear down I'll honour it – I will
Swear down to keep my word
You're my boy, you have been since day one
So now each year my birthday always leaves a bitter taste
Knowing the following day I gout your call
You rang me up to say she passed
My breaking voice my aching heart shattered for you all
But I held back the tears made my words crystal clear
As I promised you that I would
I swore there and then I'd pick ya back up again
I'd get you on the mend in any way I could
So what are you saying this week
I swear down I'll keep my promise to her
I swear down I'll honour it – I will
Swear down to keep my word
You're my boy, you have been since day one
