Celtic Thunder The Old Man Lyrics

The Old Man Lyrics

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 my father

My teacher my best friend

He can
still be heard

In the tunes we shared

When we play them on our
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



As a boy he’d take me walking

By
mountain, field and stream

And he'd show me things

Not known to
kings

And secret between him and me

Like the colors of the
pheasant

As he rises in the dawn

Or how to fish and make a wish

Beside the 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



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’d done



(chorus)

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
