September 77 as I lay in my bed
My Mam gently woke me and quietly said
That you were in Heaven, a star in the sky….
Too beautiful to live yet too young to die
I loved you so much Marc, my heart broke in two
Tears drenched my pillow like fresh morning dew
That memory so vivid, the pain still as raw
Our cosmic dancer was with us no more
I played all your records, the pain would not go
Still the child in my belly continued to grow
12 sad weeks passed…..then pain turned to joy
The nurse passed me my baby, My 20th Century Boy
A new life had begun, there was light after dark
My beautiful Child Star, my precious son Marc
……I continued to love you, a solitary fan
My Two Penny Prince, my Cosmic Main Man
Now three decades on my life’s started anew,
And my Teenage Dream Marc that’s because of you,
You enter our lives and you never leave
You’re the beat in our hearts you’re the air that we breath
Now that solitary fan that once bopped alone,
Has found a new family a new place to roam,
From Golders to Wigan, to Newcastle and more
My Spaceball Boots bounce on every dance floor,
You never left us Marc, your spirit runs free
You’re the scent of the flower, the leaf on the tree
You brought us together Marc, fans old and new,
And My Prettiest Star I will always LOVE YOU ♥
♥ Happy Birthday Marc ♥
