Let it play! Let it play.
Let it play! Let it play.
THE OLD MAN
(singer)
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.
(Chorus)
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
(Son)
I’m sorry dad’ wished
we had kept in touch. but I’m here now; I loved you dad.
(Singer)
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 the pheasant
As he rises in the dawn
Or how to fish and make a wish
Beside a fairy tree
(chorus)
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
(Son)
Went back to the old works yesterday dad; sat where we used to sit; all them years ago. You and me drinking tea
I hated you then dad, but now I know the truth.
(Singer)
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
(Son)
(Crying uncontrollably) You should have let me known dad.
Now I am the one that is wrong! the curtain's closing; and it’s all to late! you’re gone!
