ALL THE
VERY BEST
Sing a song
tell a joke
Close your
eyes to the world
Throw your head
back and sing
You spread
your joy and laughter
It’s all
part of your master plan
You play the
fool drink a toast
Tell tales as
a clown
Shut your
eyes while your melody soars
You preach a
message of peace through
Miners, beggars, and whores
CHORUS
Yours is a
voice from heaven
Sent to
remind us that someone somewhere
Needs you
You bridge
the gap
‘Tween now and
the past
And share it
with all your friends
To teach us
all that singing our stories
Should never
end
Such power
in your voice
With the beauty
of tune
Interspersed
with a wicked grin
You left me
waiting’ hopin’
That you’ll
soon be back again
CHORUS
You roamed
the world
Singing your
songs
To the lucky
and fortunate few
Who knew
what to say
If we were
asked ‘Vin who?’
It’s hard to
accept
Your soul’s
now silent
And that voice
will soar no more
All the very
best
Now you’re
at rest
You left us
wanting more
CHORUS
