lyrics

Jack Layton And Grace Appleton
By Kurt Swinghammer

Mansbridge had tears in his eyes
When he told the country the news
Jack Layton had died
And a little part of me died too

The part that had faith
A politician could be on my side
A leader I could believe in
Who stood for what was right

But Mansbridge didn’t know
Later on that very day
In a Fonthill nursing home
Grace Appleton passed away

Jack Layton and Grace Appleton
Jack Layton and Grace Appleton
Two names that never were mentioned
In the same breath

She wasn’t famous and she wasn’t rich
She lived and voted conservatively
But she was the president
Of the Niagara Falls Horticultural Society

They lit up the CN Tower
Bright orange of the NDP
And my Mom’s favorite flower
Her garden full of tiger lillies
