I remember when I cut your hair
I took it to the bone
But I think I nicked your head
With your beautiful eyes 
You just smiled and said
Let's have a lovely pint son 
A bag of cheese and onion crisps

Oh Mr Read
Oh Mr Read

(oh-oh-oh...) 

It's so hard to let you go
It's so hard to let you go
I know you had to leave Mr Read

Yeah I love ya, yeah I love you so much
I'll always love you cos I love you so much
I know you had to leave Mr Read

I remember when you touched my face
You had such healing hands
A working man with grace
I came home but I had to take the plane
I know you had to go Gramps but I wish I'd seen your face

Oh Mr Read 
Oh Mr Read

(oh-oh-oh...)

It's so hard to let you go
It's so hard to let you go
I know you had to leave me Mr Read

Yeah I love ya, yeah I love you so much
I'll always love you cos I love you so much
I know you had to leave Mr Read 

I know that you know 
I know that you know
Just how much I love ya

Beautiful Mr Read
Mr Read 

Yeah I love ya, yeah I love you so much
I'll always love you cos I love you so much
I know you had to leave Mr Read
