I've seen the many medals, I own a plaque.
I played football too, but such things I lack!
I look back and think to myself what a shame.
We never saw each other play the beautiful
game.

I would have seen your honours held high.
But I never did, I don't know the reason why.
Although I played at a lower level than you.
I would have loved for you to have seen me                                                                                                 too.                                                                               

It would have been great from time to time.
To see my Dad cheer me on from the line.
But I'm still in the dark why that wasn't to be.
Now I lay flowers for a Dad, I never got to see.
