The Lyrics
One of many corona virus songs.
I'M STILL STANDING
I just never knew just how bad
The coughing was the worst I've ever had,
And then along came the fever, hot as hell,
And when I lost my sense of taste, I knew things weren't too well.
I went into the hospital full of fear,
Family and friends, well they all shed a tear.
But we hadn't reckoned on the NHS,
So if you need to know how I'm still standing, there's no need to guess.
You can see I'm still standing fitter than I've ever been,
Knowing I was close to dying, now you see I'm full of beans.
I'm still standing and so grateful now,
Thankful I'm alive and in one piece, and I'm still wondering how
I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah.
I never thought I'd see the day,
Lying on a sick bed in a dreadful way.
My chances of recovery not too great
The care I got was just outstanding now there's no need to wait
Because I'm still standing fitter than I've ever been,
Knowing I was close to dying, now you see I'm full of beans.
I'm still standing and so grateful now,
Thankful I'm alive and in one piece, and I'm still wondering how
I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just never knew just how bad
The coughing was the worst I've ever had,
And then along came the fever, hot as hell,
And when I lost my sense of taste, I knew things weren't too well.
I went into the hospital full of fear,
Family and friends, well they all shed a tear.
But we hadn't reckoned on the NHS,
So if you need to know how I'm still standing, there's no need to guess.
You can see I'm still standing fitter than I've ever been,
Knowing I was close to dying, now you see I'm full of beans.
I'm still standing and so grateful now,
Thankful I'm alive and in one piece, and I'm still wondering how
I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah.
I never thought I'd see the day,
Lying on a sick bed in a dreadful way.
My chances of recovery not too great
The care I got was just outstanding now there's no need to wait
Because I'm still standing fitter than I've ever been,
Knowing I was close to dying, now you see I'm full of beans.
I'm still standing and so grateful now,
Thankful I'm alive and in one piece, and I'm still wondering how
I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah.

Amazing! An Amiright author with 120 submissions posts four songs about nearly dying from Covid ... and no response. Yeah, the number of authors who might remember you and are still hanging around has decreased drastically, Glynne .... So, what did they give you to arrest this disease? How are you doing now? Judging from your submissions, you must be about 70 -- How close a call was it?
To CML. I'm 75 next week and only joking. I'm in good shape.
