This lonely, sad year                is now passing by. This year where each day               brought more tears to cry. Each party that was,              was a bit melancholy, They were all missing              one guy's joyful folly. It seems no one knew              quite what to say Or how to pretend              that we held grief at bay Or how even to smile               when you were not near With your great big grin               stretching from ear to ear    We keep looking for you                in each passing day Wishing you'd been                given more years to stay. Each day convinced               any day you'd walk in And we'd all be laughing               with you again. But hard as it is,              we go on for that's what You would demand,             though the pain's a deep cut. And we know that this pain              is no less then The proof of your love             since the day we began. In this next year             help us to see You're here with us             in our family. In a brother's voice,            we'll hear your laugh And know sister's hugs           are on your behalf. In arms of love           you still hold us all tight And everyone will,           at the end of each night Envy our privilege          to be called the 'bambinos' Of such a great man,           (that's you Dad), our Dino.
