Sgt. Bean

Melinda Schneider

At the station they all called him Sgt. Bean

But at our house he was just plain dad to me

My mother?s biggest fan

A strong and steady man

And we got by on his philosophy

We?re not here for a long time

We gotta promise to have a good time

We?re not living forever

We gotta promise to stick together

40 years of service, he was tough

But we?d sing ?wind beneath my wings?

and he?d tear up

I?ve got a million memories,

mum on the ukelaylee

And the perfect harmony, the 3 of us singing

We?re not here for a long time

We gotta promise to have a good time

We?re not living forever

We gotta promise to stick together

There?s days I can?t believe he?s really gone

When I run out of reasons to be strong

That?s when I swear I hear his voice in my ear

Saying ?Lulu dry your tears, life goes on?

We?re not here for a long time

We gotta promise to have a good time

We?re not living forever

We gotta promise to stick together

We?ll always be together
