SpAmeeches won't be made today, clFmajocks will carry on
FlGowers won't be left in parks, worCk will still be doneEm  
PeAmople won't be dressed in black, bFmajabies will be born
No Gflags will fly, the sun will rise but we will kCnow that you are goneEm  
YCou Amwho loved to lEmove, and bCeliAmeved we can never give enEmough
It Amwakes me every single night, thiFmajnking through the day
DiGd you stop at any time, have douCbts at any stageEm  
WAmere you calm or were you numb, or hFmajappy just to get it done
I've lGived my life without regret - until tCodayEm  
And CyoAmu who loved to lEmove, and bCeliAmeved we can never give enEmough

And mAmissed the most important thing you've Fmajever tried to say
I've liGved my life without regret - until tCodayEm

Oooh, thAme day before the day
The Emday before the day
OoohAm, the day before the day
OoohEm, the day before the day
OoohAm, the day before the day
