MARIES LITTLE BOY
Ro grew up on the northside of Dublin
A little blond haired kid with his whole life ahead of him,
His Mam and Dad gave him the best they could,
Marie's little boy was always so good.
His Mam knew Ro wouldn't live like the rest
He only strove to be the best
His Mam said, "Ro, go for gold"
and for his Mam he did as he was told.
Joining Boyzone could be fun
Earn some money maybe get to no.1,
He left it all at only 16
And joined the other 4 who were just as keen
It was not long before they had achieved their dream,
Their hard work had paid off it seemed,
Sending the girls crazy and topping the charts
Boyzone knew they had won a million hearts
But in the success of a popstar's day
Ronan's Mam gently passed away,
Ro had lost his mother and best friend
Their special relationship had come to an end
He looked for help in those who he loved;
His friends and family Yvonne and God,
He took a well needed break to mend
and there he married his other best friend.
And when the sun shone on his wedding day
Ro knew his Mam was there in her own special way,
And whether he's going through the pain or the joy
He'll always be Marie Keating's little boy.
