Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day, believe me
I bless the light
I bless the light that lights on you, believe me
Now you're gone
You're with me every single day, believe me
Days I'll remember all my life
Days when you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me
But it's alright
Now I'm not frightened of this world, believe me
I wish today could be tomorrow
The night is dark
It just brings sorrow, then it rains
Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I don't regret a single day, believe me
Days I'll remember all my life
Days when you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me
But it's alright
Now I'm not frightened of this world, believe me
Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day, believe me
I bless the light
I bless the light that lights on you, believe me
And though you're gone
You're with me every single day, believe me

Both Sides Now:
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
Looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and they snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
And you leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions that I recall
I really don't know love
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say, "I love you, " right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
Oh, but now old friends, they're acting strange
And they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed
Well, something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
It's life's illusions that I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all

In loving memory of Ian,s Dad - Brian Robert Frost: Italiano and English
Ian – Grazie a papà
Buon pomeriggio. Voglio ringraziare tutti qui e via Internet per essere parte del ringraziamento di oggi per la vita del nostro papà.
Benvenuti a quei membri della mia famiglia e di Roberto in Italia via internet - grazie per esservi uniti a noi. E benvenuti a tutti quei familiari e amici che si stanno unendo a noi tramite questo link. Grazie a tutti voi per i tanti messaggi gentili e le cartoline di condoglianze.
Nostro padre era un uomo molto speciale: dedicato alla sua famiglia sopra ogni altra cosa. Era sempre pronto ad aiutarci, senza esitazione: non si stancava mai di riparare le nostre biciclette, motociclette, auto quando eravamo più giovani e in seguito di aiutarci nei tanti progetti di costruzione e miglioramento della casa che intraprendevamo. Ha aiutato me e Roberto con molti dei nostri progetti a Londra, rimanendo con noi e incontrando molti dei nostri amici - ricordo che papà era presente ad alcuni dei nostri incontri molto colorati, rumorosi e piuttosto animati - Tutti sono rimasti colpiti dalle sue capacità e da alcuni dei nostri amici ha commissionato le sue capacità per assistere con i propri miglioramenti domestici. È ricordato con affetto da loro e abbiamo ricevuto messaggi di cordoglio da molti.
Sono particolarmente grato a papà e mamma per essere stati di grande conforto per il mio marito quando ha perso suo padre - abbiamo ricevuto la notizia mentre eravamo con mamma e papà - la risposta istintiva di nostro padre nell'offrire la sua spalla a Roberto, so che è stata molto apprezzata e Roberto lo ricordava con grande orgoglio.
Grazie papà per essere uno su un milione.
Ian – Thanks to Dad
Good afternoon. I want to thank everyone here and via the internet for being part of today’s thanks for the life of our Dad.
Welcome to those members of Roberto's and my family in Italy via the internet - thank you for joining us. And welcome to all those family and friends who are also joining us via this link. Thanks to you all for the many kind messages and cards offering condolences.
Our Dad was a very special man: dedicated to his family above all else. He was always ready to help us, without hesitation – he never tired of repairing our bikes, motor bikes, cars when we were younger and later on helping with the many building and home improvement projects we undertook. He helped Roberto and I with several of our London projects, staying with us and meeting many of our friends – I recall dad being present at some of our very colourful noisy and quite animated gatherings - All were impressed with his abilities and some of our friends commissioned his skills to assist with their own home improvements. He is remembered fondly by them and we have had kind messages of condolence from many.
I am especially grateful to Dad and Mum for being a great comfort to my late Husband when he lost his own father – we received the news while staying with mum and dad – our dad's instinctive response to offer Roberto his shoulder, I know was hugely appreciated and Roberto remembered this with great pride.
Thank you Dad for being one in a million.
