The world was so still the day we heard we'd lost you Phill The sun in the sky , was as much as we could do not to cry Now when we go to bed and lay down our heads Thoughts turn to you and what more we could do Why were we so blind to see Life's not all its cracked up to be .. What's so sad you didn't know the meaning of bad It hurts that you were so good Do anything for anyone you would A good soul caring your role Getting along , with everyone Always asking after others Like they were your Sister or Brother Stop for a chat we could be sure of that You would mean it too & that is so true Didn't wait for things to go wrong Before you offered a shoulder to cry on Big as a bear people like you are so rare The all loving person who really cared High & Mighty, mighty high Where you now tread angels fly Belfast boy like your hero the Best As good as Pele' better than the rest Pride of Africa so meek and mild British born when streets were wild Gentle giant one of a kind A bigger man unlikely to find Wealth in life never mattered one jot For if it was measured in kindness You'd be the richest of the lot ! Just like Jesus at that time of year For you Philip too we'll shed a tear Your similar nature is so easy to see A simple man who held the key ! So just like your king we'll always remember Your name will shine bright each & every December Yes comparisons are so easy to make As you touched so many for Christ's sake It's unbelievable you'll no longer be there Wonder how we'll fare to think we don't dare ... When we look up in summer at the afternoon sun When we look up at winters moon and remember what we'd done Great Yarmouth and The Strong Man Fair Cheddar Gorge Cheese & Weston Super Mare High & Mighty the store where you bought your clothes High & Mighty the legend that everybody knows So humble so heartfelt a lesson to us all That we should try to catch up or always call United we stand ready to lend a hand To help others up if we can Wherever they may land In life , be true , lead the way So that we might too see a brighter day .
