From the recording Blossom Outside
A love song to my dear departed school friend John George Hunter (31/12/1968-31/03/2023), whom I loved very much and miss greatly.
Lyrics
Glimpses
The Grand Prix is on TV
Off to Tutton’s to celebrate 50
Holiday on the Cote D’Azur
La vie est dure, mon amour
You liked to rock ‘round the clock
Till the last dance played and
The music stopped
Sing along to the last song, baby!
No one really knows what happens after you go
Some say you live on, others say you don’t
But back on earth, for what’s it’s worth, once-in-a-while
I catch a glimpse of you in the little things and smile
Make friends in every walk of life
Vintage cars and motorbikes
Settle down, keep the missus sweet
Seduce the whole world with your joie-de-vivre
The watch on your wrist says it’s time to go home now
Rest your head
Old souls may not make for old bones
But you gave us your best
No one really knows what happens after you go
Some say you live on, others say you don’t
But back on earth, for what’s it’s worth, once-in-a-while
I catch a glimpse of you in the little things and smile
Gone far too soon
Only the brave and the good
Die young
You knew how to live to the maximum
And how to have fun
No one really knows what happens after you go
Some say you live on, others say you don’t
But back on earth, for what’s it’s worth, once-in-a-while
I catch a glimpse of you in the little things and smile
Although you’re gone
I hear your voice in every song
Although you’re gone
I hear your voice in every song
