At the station they all called him Sgt. Bean
But at our house he was just plain dad to me
My mothers biggest fan
A strong and steady man
And we got by on his philosophy
Were not here for a long time
We gotta promise to have a good time
Were not living forever
We gotta promise to stick together
40 years of service, he was tough
But wed sing wind beneath my wings
and hed tear up
Ive got a million memories,
mum on the ukelaylee
And the perfect harmony, the 3 of us singing
Were not here for a long time
We gotta promise to have a good time
Were not living forever
We gotta promise to stick together
Theres days I cant believe hes really gone
When I run out of reasons to be strong
Thats when I swear I hear his voice in my ear
Saying Lulu dry your tears, life goes on
Were not here for a long time
We gotta promise to have a good time
Were not living forever
We gotta promise to stick together
Well always be together
