Save Me a Seat

(spoken) This one’s for you,

Poppey… …

Bill Kendall.

There’s an empty seat beside me now… And I still turn around

somehow…

Like you might be sitting there…

With that old familiar smile and stare…

You were my father… you were my friend…

I never thought our time would end…

Now I’m learning how to live…

With all the love… I still have left to give.

So save me a seat up in Heaven,

Poppey (Poppey-y-y)

’Cause I’m gonna miss you every day…

I’d give anything for one more Jeep ride…

Just to hear you say “Let’s get a frappe.” I’d

trade a thousand tomorrows… For one more afternoon

with you… But until I see you again,

Poppey… I’ll keep

every

memory… of you.

You loved that water… loved to fish…

Those quiet days were all we wished…

Just sitting there with a fishing line…

Never knowing… those would be

the best of times… I didn’t know how fast they’d fly…

Or that one day… I’d have to say goodbye…

Now every lake…

and every stream… Brings you back to me… in a dream. (whispered)

Bill Kendall…

Your name will never fade…

You gave me love… that time can’t take away…

And when my heart gets heavy… and I don’t know what to

do… I’ll close my eyes… and remember… I was lucky enough… to

have

you.

So save me

a seat up in Heaven,

Poppey

(Poppey-y-y) I promise I’ll be there someday…

And when I finally get that Jeep ride… We’ll stop for a

frappe…

on the way.

We’ll talk about the fishing…

and all the years that passed us by… And I’ll tell you

what I couldn’t say… The day…

I had to say… goodbye.

(whispered) You were my… Poppey… You always will be.

Until we meet again…

Keep a seat there…

for me.
