The tears have all been shed now
We`ve said our last goodbyes
His soul`s been blessed
He`s laid to rest
And its now I feel alone
He was more than just a my father
My teacher, my best friend
He can still be heard
In the tunes we shared
When I play them on my own
And I never will forget him
For he made me what I am
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
And I miss him the Old Man
As a boy, he`d take me walking
By mountain, field and stream
And he showed me things
Not known to kings
And secret between him and me
Like the colours on a pheasant
As he rises in the dawn
Or how to fish, and make a wish
beside a Fairy tree
And I never will forget him
For he made me what I am
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
And I miss him the Old Man
I thought he`d live forever
He seemed so big and strong
But the minutes fly
And the years roll by
For a father and a son
And suddenly when it happened
There was no much left unsaid
No second chance
To Tell him thanks
For everything he`s done
And I never will forget him
For he made me what I am
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
God, I miss him the Old Man
