Bennie & Kay

Your wife sayin' that she miss you and she waits for death to hold you once again Your son just doesn't get it, I completely understand That you made a vow that you'd stay with her 'til the end Do you worry if she's safe? Can you see us from up there? I wish that I knew, I love her But you deserve her more than I do I hope my children act just like you I wish that I knew if it was Better upstairs, is there a bedroom up there? If you want for anything, does it come to you prepared? Does it feel like home? Or do you not even care? Because everyone's happy, I wish that you were here, I do Your wife said that she missed you, now she's with you, "It's for the best," so I'm told It's selfish, pop-pop, I did not want her to go And now your son is getting old, I love him more than life itself And I just hope to God he knows That he's the reason I'm around In everything I do, father, I hope to make you proud In everything that I'm about Grief makes one born again, I've gotta feel it out My mother's crying in the crowd A quiet in the loud, life's finite, I know But I feel it all sometimes and it feels all fickle Pain is no wall in life, more so an obstacle There's so much pain in love, there's so much love to show Trust me, I already know, I already know that it's Better upstairs, is there a bedroom up there? If you want for anything, does it come to you prepared? Does it feel like home? Or do you not even care? Because everyone's happy, I wish that you were here, is it Better upstairs, is everybody else there? If you want for anything, does it come to you prepared? Does it feel like home? Or do you not even care? Because everyone's happy, I wish that you were here, I do —playing As soon as school finished, the kids, the dogs were loaded in the car and off she would go For the summer months with me To you, Kay To my family, and to all my friends in polo Which has been my lifeblood for half a century I thank you for honoring me tonight
