Old George From Athens

Old George from Athens his hair silver gray
And surely he has known of a far better day
The last time the shores of Greece he did see
Was when he left it by ship in nineteen fifty three

A woman he loved more than words can say
Anna his Aussie wife of six decades last year passed away
Far more to him than a devoted wife
She was his soul mate the great love of his life

Ten times a great grandfather he lives on his own
And happier times he would surely have known
All he has are good memories of what used to be
Few people known to go through life sorrow free

The sad look of grief on his face looks never lie
He will be grieving for Anna until the day he does die
George in his eighty fifth year lives on his own
And far happier times in life of he would have known.
