THE OLD ROCKING CHAIR by Brian & Michael

Now I courted your old grandma along the canal walks,
And I told her she's the fairest of them all,
And I told her that I loved her and I wanted her for mine,
And I wrote it all along the gasworks wall.

Now she gave me six fine sons and your father he was one,
And she kept the home together and her favorites she had none,
But the war it cut the family down to more than half its size,
And I saw your grandma aging right before me very eyes.

CHORUS: She was bonnie, she was fair,
And we made a lovely pair
I'd give half the world to see her
In that old rocking chair.

Now an angel called on us one night and took ya gran away,
But I just had time to comb and plait her hair,
And although lonely times did face me and it nearly broke me heart,
Nobody else could fill that rocking chair. CHORUS

Now when I climb the stairs at night, By flicker of candle light,
And I look upon those shadows on the wall,
I can remember when that shadow once was two,
And besides me stood the fairest of them all. CHORUS

Now as I lay me down to sleep, I pine for my sweet lass
And I wish that times were like they use to be
And I hope your grandma hears me voice and tells the lord above
To send an angel down to call on me. CHORUS TWICE
