Torvill & Dean Telly's on, my face is beaming There's lots of crowds, but no one’s screaming, They are not pop stars, but they're on so late It's Jayne and Chris, they are going to skate Who would have thought that someone’s son or daughter Would take to the ice like a fish takes to water They've done so well dancing with bliss I love the part where they almost kiss Nine Sixes they scored. It won't be forgotten They've brought new life to our ice rink in Nottingham They all want to skate like Jayne and Chris. But for people like me ......it was only a wish |
Many years ago I worked as a home help ,the lady I worked for had a birthday card for her granddaughter , knowing I wrote little verses she ask if I would mind writing something for her. This is what I wrote.
JAYNE All grandchildren are special, I’d like to explain. But there's one in particular, known as our Jayne' You can't imagine the thrills she's given me. Also her Grandad, when we watch T.V. To see you skate, it’s like having a dream. You skate as one, with Christopher Dean. Oh Jayne I'm so proud of all that you've done. Now I'm growing old you've made my life fun. You’re an household name, I knew you'd go far. Lots of love and God Bless you, from your Grandma x |
