Lyrics
HE WAS A MAN I WAS PROUD TO CALL FRIEND, THAT'S A WORD THAT'S NOT EAY FOR ME; HE WAS STRONG AS AN OAK BUT YET HE COULD BEND, AND WASA GENTLE A MAN AS I'VE SEEN(CHORUS) HE WOULD TAKE ME ASIDE AND HE'D TEACH ME OF LIFE(JESUS)AND HIS KINDNESS I CAN NOT REPAY, FOR JUST BEING WITH HIM WAS THE BEST KIND OF FUN, AND I WISH HE WAS WITH ME TODAY.(V.2)HE WAS A MAN I WAS PROUD TO CALL FRIEND, AND HIS MEMORY IS PRECIOUS TO ME; ANY THING HE POSESSED HE WAS HAPPY TO LEND, AND A GENTELER MAN I'VE NOT SEEN. HE WOULD TAKE ME ASIDE AND HE'D TEACH ME OF LIFE, I REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD, AND I HOPE THAT MY SON HOLDS THE SAME THOUGHTS OF ME, AS I DO WHEN I THINK OF MY DAD.
