"Bennie & Kay" lyrics

Your wife say that she miss you and she waits for death to hold you once again
Your son just doesn't get it, I completely understand
That you made a vow that you'd stay with her 'til the end
Do you worry if she's safe? Can you see us from up there?

I wish that I knew, I love her
But you deserve her more than I do
I hope my children act just like you
I wish that I knew if it was

Better upstairs, is there a bedroom up there?
If you want for anything, does it come to you prepared?
Does it feel like home? Or do you not even care?
Because everyone's happy, I wish that you were here, I do

Your wife said that she missed you, now she's with you, "It's for the best," so I'm told
It's selfish, pop-pop, I did not want her to go
And now your son is getting old, I love him more than life itself
And I just hope to God he knows
That he's the reason I'm around
And everything I do, father, I hope to make you proud
And everything that I'm about
Grief makes one born again, I've gotta feel it out
My mother's crying in the crowd
The quiet in the loud, life's finite, I know
But I feel it all sometimes and it feels all fickle
Pain is no wall in life, more so an obstacle
There's so much pain in love, there's so much love to show
Trust me, I already know, I already know that it's

Better upstairs, is there a bedroom up there?
If you want for anything, does it come to you prepared?
Does it feel like home? Or do you not even care?
Because everyone's happy, I wish that you were here, I do
Better upstairs, is everybody else there?
If you want for anything, does it come to you prepared?
Does it feel like home? Or do you not even care?
Because everyone's happy, I wish that you were here, I do

As soon as school finished, the kids, the dogs were loaded in the car and off she would go for the summer months with me
To you, Kay, to my family, and to all my friends in polo, which has been my lifeblood for half a century, I thank you for honoring me tonight
