Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed

[Verse 3] (same old same old)

She's the one they're going to miss
In lots of ways

[Verse 4] (Quick singing bit uses verse chords)
I remember way back then when everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time, such a fine time
Such a happy time
And I remember how we'd play, simply waste the day away
Then we'd say nothing would come between us two dreamers
Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired, she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around
