Annakin Slayd Remember (a Tribute To The Expos) Lyrics

Anni Slayd's got the spring time blues real bad
Can't help but reminisce about the great years we had
I remember photo day ‘83 summer
Yeah, still have the pic of me, my Pops and my brother
I remember All Star game five men strong
Fifty-nine thousand fans looking on
I remember tears at the Kid's last game
Stood right behind him as the anthem played
Now my homemade sign's got his autographed name
On the newspaper cover, first brush with fame.
I remember singing Val-der-ree, Val-der-rah
‘03 Wild Card race, last hurrah
I remember Vlad 40-40 and the call they got wrong
The game against the Braves Cliff Floyd going long
Still missin' Montreal ball six years on
Yeah sometimes you don't know what you got till it's gone

This one's for the Kid and the Cat and the Hawk
And this one's for Grip, Larry Walk and the Rock
This one's for El Presidente, Mo and O-Cab
and this one's for Spaceman, Crow and Vlad
Most of all this one for us, the fans who stuck
With the ‘Spos when the times were tough singing
Those were the days
I'm a Expo for life no matter what they say
And the memories will never fade
Nos Amours in my heart

I remember Rondell White and Lou Frazier
Otis Nixon, F.P., Eli and Laser
I remember the magic, El Perfecto
Twenty-seven men up then down like presto I remember sun coming down on the field no roof
I remember doing a jig on the dugout with Youps
I remember just how close we came
Eighty-one, then the strike year still feel the pain
I never forget that last night at the O
Had both arms wrapped round my Dad and my bro
It looked just like that pic we took years ago
The only thing different were tears that flowed
Yeah, most of y'all must think I love the Habs more
But if it were up to me it'd feel like ninety-four
I remember the last time I checked a boxscore
And that last sad send off from Dave Van Horne

This one's for the Kid and the Cat and the Hawk
And this one's for Grip, Larry Walk and the Rock
This one's for El Presidente, Mo and O-Cab
and this one's for Spaceman, Crow and Vlad
Most of all this one for us, the fans who stuck
With the ‘Spos when the times were tough singing
Those were the days
And the memories will never fade
Nos Amours in my heart
This one's for the Kid and the Cat and the Hawk
And this one's for Grip, Larry Walk and the Rock
This one's for El Presidente, Mo and O-Cab
and this one's for Spaceman, Crow and Vlad
Sometimes it's the little things that bring us together
That's why I'm an Expo forever always remember
Up, Up and away
And the memories will never fade
