Verse 1:
Poppie, you were a crafty man
Made me laugh, made me stand
By your side, as you demonstrated with your crafty hands
That creativity will never fade if there remains demand
Fly-fishing, survival kits and camping trips
All the essential tips from your lips you equipped me with
If you were the old block, I wanted to be the chip
If you said “follow me” and walked, I'd be by your hip
Yea, you'd rise and shine before the sun did
Sourdough pancakes, “Now let's shoot some guns kid,”
Always ready for a day outdoors
But poured yourself out in the home, you couldn't be out-poured
Your love and service to Nana, exemplary
Were you aware of what your great example meant for me?
Man, you taught me way more than met the eye
My Poppie, I love you, you're still here in heart and mind
Still here in heart and mind
You're still here in heart and mind
Hook:
Always made sure we got love
And taught us the meaning of loving others too
So I decided to write this one for the two of you
Always knew each other was enough
When things were rough you'd find another way to make it smooth
So I decided to write this one for the two of you
Verse 2:
Nana, you know you always ran a
Fun-filled home, you'd have our smiles lookin' like bananas
Know how to plan a
Poppin' movie night
Took us shoppin' for bunches of junk food
So the mood was right
Now you've moved away to be happy in Florida
Despite the pain of Poppie's pa**ing, you're a warrior
It's like he was born for ya
And you for him
To each other you were Fountains
Filled with Youth to the brim
He was your “Honey Bunny”
You were his “Honey”
But he just called you “Hun”
And it's funny cause he
Was always funny in his own way
Kept the puns running, never lonely
In the presence of his own cunning
He had a way with words
Wrote you little love notes
Now those little love notes are big tug ropes
With which you can pull Poppie closer in heart and mind
Still with you watching over, that's what happens when two spirits bind
That's what happens when two spirits bind
That's what happens when two spirits bind
