Eileen

Come on Eileen is not really you
Tell us more Eileen, is probably more true
With a life well lived and tales to tell
Life will be lesser now you're not here for the tell
Not quite a son, but a son-in-law
You once said we're close, we think so alike
You explained that we're both observers of people and life 
Maybe sit in the margin to listen and learn
Well I learned from you with your sparkling smile
That life's so worth living when you go that extra mile
No sitting back and watch it speed by
Life's only lived when you fully immerse 
As you've always done every step of your way
But who's left for us now, to show us the way
Come on Eileen, too ra loo ra too ra loo rye aye
