I remember this day it was almost 10 years ago
I had red hair, new boobs, that’s how I know
My friend Cindy she passed away 2 days ago, in the night
Beautiful Cindy, pure delight, God Why? It is so not right
I am trying not to weep but the tears just flow
She would not want sadness, they say she is at peace, I know, I know
But my heart hurts and I cannot help that choking feeling
She wont be there when I get back to Australia, that’s what I am dealing
Outrigger Paddling she loved and that’s how we met
Some curly-headed mates in the picture above, we all had fun you bet
She loved the freedom the feeling of the ocean
She was talented, creative, her family, her devotion
She leaves behind Grandchildren who will not know her as we knew
But I know she has left them things to remember, as she bid adieu
Well Cindy, you have passed, and our lives move forward in great stride
Till we meet again for sure on the other side
When I get back to Australia I will buy a bottle of champagne for two
Will sit in your beautiful garden by the pool and drink it just me and you
