Lyrics
THAT MAN By: Angela Randion
Like an oak he was tall and steady.
Unwavering in a storm.
Deeply rooted to his family.
Always knew what he stood for.
Sometimes stubborn as a mule.
But he was gentle always kind.
Paid every debt as a rule.
I miss him all the time.
It's the little things he did every day.
I never noticed but now I'm amazed.
CHORUS:
That Man was good. And he loved us the best that he could.
Used his toolbox to fix what was broken, what went wrong.
Not just mortar and bricks, he built my foundation strong.
He did whatever it took. That Man was good.
He never drove a flashy car
or got a fancy degree.
But he'd give his right arm
to make sure I'd have all that I need.
Now and then he'd tell some corny joke
and I'd just roll my eyes.
What I'd give now to go back
and laugh with him just one time.
He was never much for words.
But quiet actions weren't always heard.
CHORUS
That Man was good. And he loved us the best that he could.
He worked hard to repair anything whether flesh, heart or wood.
That Man was good.
