Goodnight Steve Wright //
Listening to you
was always like
coming home
your voice across
the airwaves
your iconic sounds
your humour, conversation you had that magic
that isn’t often found
The soundtrack
of my youth
my Top Of The Pops
winding my cassette back to record the charts
to see who
reached number one
and to hear
who sadly had flopped
My ‘whatever you want’
and Phyllis Nelson’s moves
then the ‘no jockins’
whatever you did
we were listening
we were in the mood
and we were rockin
A master of the craft
that some of us
can only dream of
a legendary presenter
who made us all think about music &
smoochy Sunday love
You had that voice
In the room
reassuring and true
one thing for certain
Steve Wright
we will flippin
miss you
Company on school runs
or travelling to and fro
why do those who make a difference to us
have to go?
A voice that never aged
through the shifting sands and years
you brought us so much more
than just music
you brought us the constant
to our ears
Thank you for the memories
you sure have left
your mark on your
listeners tonight
the irreplaceable
Steve Wright
you sure made
those radio waves
were inspiring
welcome
& bright
god bless
and
goodnight
