Immortality

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 An old Hollywood actor, Jimmy Dean, once said
That if a man can live on, long after he is dead
Then this is the true form of greatness for man
Bridging life and death, like only great men can

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 The immortal Bill Shankly, greatest of them all
His traditions remain and his statue stands tall
A quarter of a century, since he was taken away
The people of Liverpool, remember him today

Notes

“Liverpool was made for me and I was made for Liverpool.”

Twenty five years today. Still my hero.
