    Do you mind if I ask why this song is in your mind ? It's been a favorite of mine for many years since I first heard it.

    My dad died when I was about 4 and it's the song I listen to when I want to remember him. Says all the things I think about.

    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
