late daddy Paul's childrens love

(Verse 1)

The sun rose on a September day,

And took a gentle man away.

Our father, Paul, with a loving hand,

The strongest pillar in our land.

He left a garden, rich and deep,

With promises we'll always keep.

(Chorus)

Oh, Paul Aroa, we sing for you,

Our hearts are full, our love is true.

Patricia’s partner, standing tall,

We are your eight, we’ll never fall.

From Genove to sweet Jonabell,

In our memories, you will dwell.

(Verse 2)

We see you in the morning light,

In Genove and Ishmael’s strength, Sere and Mendarin's insight, Rogena and Junior's grace, Annstella and Jonabell's smile upon your face with kindness and a gentle art,

In us, piece of you is in our hearts.

(Chorus)

Oh, Paul Aroa, we sing for you,

Our hearts are full, our love is true.

Patricia’s partner, standing tall,

We are your eight, we’ll never fall.

From Genove to sweet Jonabell,

In our memories, you will dwell.

(Bridge)

Though you have walked the path ahead,

We feel your love, not just our dread.

A father’s voice, a husband’s care,

Is woven in the very air.

And on this day, the twenty-seventh,

We send our song up to the heaven.

(Final Chorus - sung softer, with more emotion)

Oh, Paul Aroa, we sing for you,

Our hearts are full, our love is true.

Your family stands, a living tree,

With roots that reach to eternity.

From Genove to sweet Jonabell,

We carry you. We love you. Farewell.
