The tears have all been shed now   We’ve said our last goodbyes   His souls been blessed   He’s laid to rest   And it’s now I feel alone   He was more than just a father   A teacher my best friend   And He’ll still be heard   In the tunes we shared   When I play them on my own      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 walkin’   By mountain field and stream   And he showed me things   Not known to kings   And secret between him and me   Like the colours on the pheasant   As he rises in the dawn   Or how to fish and make a wish   Beside a fairy tree      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 so much left unsaid   No second chance   To tell him thanks      For everything he’s done      Oh, 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
