[00:00.768]Lived in a city, no one knew he was there
[00:05.142]The little old man with silver hair
[00:10.009]And he's listened to Beethoven every day
[00:15.065]No, the little old man never came out to play
[00:19.971]He was sweet and quiet with a thoughtful mind
[00:25.330]Didn't know how to be cruel, only kind
[00:29.858]Now he's up in the heavens doesn't care for his money
[00:34.989]Checking everyone still loves everybody
[00:40.029]Born in a mountains one of nature's wild
[00:44.749]His mother walked out, she was only a child
[00:49.493]So he was sent to the state to be loved by another
[00:54.637]But the little young boy just wanted his mother
[00:59.461]
[00:59.706]She never admitted that he was her son
[01:04.415]So he spent 60 years saying he had no one
[01:09.146]And told all of those around him a multitude of things
[01:14.499]Did not get too close, scared of what the future brings
[01:19.497]Aldo, we love you and miss you every day
[01:24.315]Your spirit still lives on, the violins are on we replay
[01:29.301]We played your favourite songs very often on repeat
[01:34.182]I'm sorry it took so long to write these words down on a sheet
[01:39.948]
[01:41.555]I met him when I had just turned around ten
[01:46.571]We had similar birthdays, we were friends from then
[01:51.402]He had boxes of crackers piled against the wall
[01:56.196]And bottles of champagne that he saved for us all
[02:01.411]He lived 'round the corner from my secondary school
[02:06.260]And he had no family, so it was us that he saw
[02:11.552]And a young girl from Tesco who he would always amuse, would not stop crying when she heard the sad news
[02:23.597]
[03:08.919]Aldo passed away at aged 84
[03:13.651]We found ourselves with him and it was us he adored
[03:18.838]And his mother who walked out around 80 years ago
[03:24.039]Turned out to live in a house just down the road
[03:29.279]It sounds like a far fetched story from a film
[03:34.344]But this was Aldo's life it really happened to him
[03:39.651]And we played his favourite song very often on repeat
[03:44.822]And I'm sorry it took so long to write these words down on a sheet
