DAD WAS WATCHING TOO

I got a feeling my dad was looking down on me 
If he did he would see mum and myself on the settee 
We were transfixed by a football match on a TV screen 
Both of us thinking of the place where dad would have been 

Derby County were playing Man United on their turf 
Derby our team was also the place of our birth 
The Rams beat United my God what a story 
Dad was looking from above to share in the glory 

When the match was over I hugged my mum 
I reassured her of the difficult days to come 
So thank you Derby County for a night to remember 
Our family will never forget the 25th of September
