I wrote this for a friend when her father passed away. We went to the funeral in Newport News and this is basically what I saw and felt that day.
There’s a sadness in the air in Newport News
There’s a sadness in the air in Newport News
Friends have heard the story so they gather in the pews
So there’s a sadness in the air in Newport News
There’s sorrow in the family on this day
There’s sorrow in the family on this day
The Lord has called a father and he’s going home to stay
So there’s sorrow in the family on this day
But there’s laughter in the pews in Newport News
There’s laughter in the pews in Newport News
Love of family that came first and how he loved so to amuse
So there’s laughter in the pews in Newport News
In Newport News the family gathers round
In Newport News the family gathers round
When families gather round, a new strength will be found
So in Newport News the family gathers round
Old friends gathered at the church in Newport News
Old friends gathered at the church in Newport News
Showing honor and respect to a man they hate to loose
Old friends gathered at the church in Newport News
The family will grow in new found love
The family will grow in new found love
There’s now a brand new angel watching from above
So the family will grow in new found love
Bagpipes played the man farewell in Newport News
Bagpipes played the man farewell in Newport News
Tears of sorrow surely fell but they didn’t sing the blues
As bagpipes played the man farewell in Newport News
In Newport News the church bells all did ring
In Newport News the church bells all did ring
A new soul has come home and joyful angels sing
In Newport News when all church bells did ring
