[00:10.852]The tears have all been shed now
[00:15.770]We've said our last good byes
[00:21.334]His soul's been blessed
[00:23.799]He's laid to rest
[00:25.887]And it's now I feel alone
[00:30.815]He was more than just a father
[00:35.787]A teacher my best friend
[00:41.573]He can still be heard
[00:43.274]In the tunes we shared

[00:53.220]I never will forget him
[00:58.615]For he made me what I am
[01:03.713]Though he may be gone
[01:05.943]Memories linger on
[01:12.604]And I miss him the old man
[01:25.357]As a boy he'd take me walking
[01:30.143]By mountain field and stream
[01:35.819]And he showed me things
[01:37.723]Not known to kings
[01:40.370]And secret between him and me
[01:45.181]Like the colors of the pheasant
[01:50.113]As he rises in the dawn
[01:55.678]And how to fish and make a wish
[02:00.95]Beside the holly tree
[02:07.168]I never will forget him
[02:12.406]For he made me what I am
[02:17.330]Though he may be gone
[02:19.456]Memories linger on
[02:26.50]And I miss him the old man
[02:48.501]I thought he'd live forever
[02:53.307]He seemed so big and strong
[02:58.922]But the minutes fly
[03:00.572]And the years roll by
[03:03.41]For a father and a son
[03:08.10]And suddenly when it happened
[03:12.497]There was so much left unsaid
[03:18.161]No second chance
[03:20.79]To tell him thanks
[03:23.16]For everything he's done
[03:29.376]I never will forget him
[03:34.438]For he made me what I am
[03:39.216]Though he may be gone
[03:41.312]Memories linger on

phil coulter -The Old Man
The tears have all been shed now
We've said our last good byes
His soul's 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
He can still be heard
In the tunes we shared
When we play them on our 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 walking
By mountain field and stream
And he showed me things
Not known to kings
And secret between him and me
Like the colors of the pheasant
As he rises in the dawn
And how to fish and make a wish
Beside the holly 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
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
