Queen
No-One But You (Only The Good Die Young) lyrics

A hand above the water
An angel reaching for the sky
Is it raining in heaven -
Do you want us to cry?
And everywhere the broken-hearted
On every lonely avenue
No-one could reach them
No-one but you
One by one
Only the Good die young
They're only flying too close to the sun
And life goes on -
Without you...
Another Tricky Situation
I get to drownin' in the Blues
And I find myself thinkin'
Well - what would you do?
Yes! - it was such an operation
Forever paying every due
Hell, you made a sensation
You found a way through - and
One by one
Only the Good die young
They're only flyin' too close to the sun
We'll remember -
Forever...
And now the party must be over
I guess we'll never understand
The sense of your leaving
Was in the way it was planned?
And so we dress another table
And raise our glasses one more time
There's a face at the window
And I ain't never, never sayin' goodbye...
One by one
Only the Good die young
They're only flyin' too close to the sun
Cryin' for nothing
Cryin' for no-one
No-one but you

Have sat here and gone through a lifetime of memories . the times she picked me up when I'd fallen (physically and emotionally) the way she would always take me to 'look round the next corner'. Her generosity, impatience, temper and kindness and most important perhaps her ability to laugh even though sometimes it was 'gallows humour' when times were about as hard as they could get.
I miss her every day for the conversations, the laughs, the tellings off, the sympathy, the knowing that what ever I made a mess of ,
she had probably done similar and understood lol. I miss her pottering in the garden knowing the names of every plant , cooking erratically,
bringing home stray cats and sometimes people.
I miss her argueing with someone on the telly, singing 'Come into the garden Maud' and NOT hitting the high note at the end and dissolving into hysterical giggles , all the stupid little things that stick in your memory even when the 'important' events have faded.
Most of all I want to pay tribute to a warm, loving lady , who never lost a friend once made, lived life with courage and enthusiam and hope and left the greatest gift of all to her children, happy memories always.
Love you mum,
Rosie and Terry , Danny, James and Holly xxxxxxx ( seven kisses like you always put )

Rose, Your Mother sounds like she was an amazing Lady.

Aw Rose, how lovely the song and the memories,

Whenever my mum was going to tell me something, she always started with, did you know.........

And always, somewhere along the lines, you remember Annie Woollass,, you know, her with ten kids, lived five doors down, well, did you know................. and off she would go.

Sadly missed, never forgotten very true words....

Lovely memories Rose ((hugs)) xx

those of us, like you, who were fortunate enough to have special Mums [and Dads] are very lucky indeed.

My mother always started off, when going to tell you something "I'm not one to talk but...................................."

always made me laugh!!!

Reading your words Rose, brings a tear to my eye . Your dear old Mum sounds very much like my own ( who I lost just over two years ago ).

I hope your memories bring you comfort and a happy glow.

The Love goes on .

Hi Taff ~~~ she was, lol.... ahead of her time in a lot of ways, born in 1920 but never 'old' as some people 'age'... always open to new places and people, she could laugh at herself and cry readily for others...and such a 'giver' :)))

Barbara, my mum was always interested in other people too, not in a nosy way or ever cruel...just liking to know what made people 'tick' really :))

xx

((((((( Hugs))))) Ann, Ann of GG, and Amanda xxx

and as my mum always said , "if you want to remember me when I am gone.... go and treat yourself to a cream cake on my behalf " lol , or indeed anything that you like :)))

Thinking of you and your mum Rose ... she sounds like such a loving mum, lovely lady.

((((hugs))))

Take care my friend

thinking of you rose xxx

I have to agree Rose

My mum always had time to be interested in other people, my dad just said she was nosey, lol

But true, it was never done cruelly.

Not the same as mine, but the same as in she sounds like your best friend just as mine was my best friend. Take care.

How lovely Rose
I have lost my Mum too and the Memories are the only thing we have left
Nothing can replace your Mum and Dad
I miss mine every Day

Nice Memories of a lovely lady I am sure Rose
Take Care
Jackie

Thanks all... :)) ((((hugs)))

Joy , that is it in a nutshell really, she was my best friend... we were very alike and enjoyed doing the same things so always got on really well, never a 'chore' to go out for the day with my mum , just sometimes a struggle to keep up with her lol

Thinking of you Rose. xxx

(((((((hugs)))))))

my Mum loved going out - anywhere - if I said how d'you fancy a tour of the sewage works, she'd be up for it!!!!!!

she had an older sister who was really cruel to her and what my Mum used to do - which was sneaky but fun - was watch Countdown on the one channel when it was on earlier and then sit and watch it again with her sister and come up with all the right answers!! Her sister used to go potty and never worked it out

LOL Ann, brilliant :))

xx

(( hugs ))
