Alan, my darling, your friends are all here
I arrived with you in the van
It’s a lovely day and the sun is out
And so far all’s going to plan

The cardboard box was a problem
As you were a bit too tall
But I did manage to sort this out
And you had the best people to pall

The house and the garden are under control
The birds are watered and fed
The cats send their love and they miss you
And sleep on your side of the bed

Needless to say I’m heartbroken,
As I’ve lost my true love and soulmate
But don’t want to dwell on the sadness
And get myself into a state

Instead to remember the fun we had
You know we laughed almost every day!
Quite remarkable if you think about it
And not what many people can say

We’re near to the end of the service
With labels on hand to stick
I hope you enjoyed it my darling
I know you’ll love the music

Since we said our goodbyes already
There’s only one thing left to add
I’ll never forget you my beautiful man
Nor the beautiful life that we had
