Oh Happy Day

Oh Happy Day

The sun is shining
Oh Happy Day
That's a quote
My father used to say

After waking up in the morning
Father made up his mind what to do
Once he made a closed veranda
And all sorts of tables too

He loved to work in the garden
Had many flowering plants
In summer the scent was overwhelming
Thanks to my father’s capable hands

My mother on the other hand
Loves to stay indoors
A former stewardess and bank employee
She doesn’t need anything more

Those two different individuals
Were married for fifty years
My father was rather outspoken
My mum is considerably discreet

Then almost at the age of ninety
My father passed away
We miss him all dearly
Each hour of the day
