i have a friend called ann was landlady of the swan
many years ago but now the pub has gone
i did karaoke there every now and then
waiting for a booking so i could go again

customers they loved it they would have ago
sing there favourite songs putting on there show
passed the night away as happy as can be
always very friendly and a friend to me

now the pub as gone just a memory
that i can look back on how it used to be
all the cosy nights and friends i got to know
in the comfort of the swan all those years ago

so i say thankyou for the memory
of the  days gone by how it used to be
to anne and all the customers
who were friends to me

children make the world go round each and every day
happy and content as they play away
bringing back the memories of all the things i did
all those years ago when i to was a kid

having lots fun doing different things
childhood memories and all that childhood brings
days on holiday with my mum and dad
playing on the beach oh what fun we had

now when i see the children it reminds me of me
when i was just a kid how it used to be
they make the world go round make life carry on
remind us of our selves when childhood days are gone

love has been around since the time began
its in everybody woman or a man
something that you share body heart and soul
a bonding of two hearts that make two people whole

no matter who you are no matter what the race
in the hearts of everyone love it has a place
its a special thing that two people share
all around the world love is everywhere

i saw my little friend sticking out is head
he lives in my garden underneath my shed
my little hedgehog buddy waking  from his sleep
time for him to waken and round my garden creep

looking for a snack for his springtime treat
tasty worms and insects that he likes to eat
waken up for spring around the garden roam
then when winter comes.  beneath my shed to home

when your feeling lonely in need love of once more
find a bit of happiness like you had before
someone there to comfort you keep you company
put love back in your heart that there used to be

take away the lonlieness bring back love to you
replace the love gone by start again a new
your love it will return the lonlieness will go
then your heart will find the love that it used to know

i love to watch the flowers in the morning dew
a lovely piece of nature thats so nice to view
snow drops and the bluebells and so many more
showing of there blooms with colors by the score

birds up in the trees singing in the morn
there springtime melody bringing in the dawn
sun begins to shine to brighten up the day
all these things you see when spring is on the way

bobby is my friend everything to me
he is everything that a friend should be
he his very loving gives his love and care
anytime at all  his love is always there

tho he is just a dog he is my best  friend
with the kind of love that will never end
always very loyal and loving as can be
and i love him so he belongs to me
