Celtic Thunder - The Old Man lyrics

Your rating:

		
		

		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
