FIRST HERO

Weren't you always the gentleman
And hero of my girlhood
A connoisseur of danger
In your cape, and lace and velvet
- Ah, you charmed me, how you charmed me
Gentle, debonair and vain
And how I wished I'd been with you like
Liz, and Jo, and Sarah-Jane;

I would have made no compromise
I would have followed blindly
Have done what you had asked me to
And stayed where you would find me,
If they caught you, I would save you
Caring more than you would know,
As did all your past companions
Sarah-Jane, and Liz, and Jo

Sometimes the fool, sometimes the power behind
The throne, sometimes too long alone
Sometimes too brave, sometimes too proud to bend
Sometimes in luck, sometimes in tears between
The gaps between the years
Sometimes a sacrifice, and sorrow at the end
While there's life there's hope, my friend

Would you have made a gift to me
Of Metebelis crystals?
Would you have taught me lullabies
In the Old Venusian tongue?
Oh, I'll miss you, how I'll miss you
What hearts'ease is there in this?
Save that I care enough to grieve for you
And so will Jo, and Sarah-Jane, and Liz

Weren't you always the gentleman
First hero of my girlhood?
