Jack The Lion Lyrics

Jack The Lion lyrics

rake up all the leaves in pleasant valley  

 it's the last day of my visit upstate new york  

 to pay respects to the old man  

 he's still got his sense of humor  

 but his body fails him  

 he's surrounded by loved ones  

 but that only goes so far  

 and does he know where he is?  

 i doubt it.  

 jack the lion roaring his last  

 like a vision sent from the past  

 bedside  crying  holding his hands  

 strong hands  

 finally get a moment alone with the old man  

 he's having trouble breathing and he's not the only one  

 he wonders where time goes  

 and why we haven't spoken for so long  

 he regrets it  

 he forgets it  

 and none too soon...  

 because he's closing his eyes and fading  

 we thank you for uniting  

 we thank you for the cause  

 we thank you for the lion  

 we thank you for the claws  

 come see him again  

 come see him again  

 come see him again  

 come see him again  

 bop bop bop  

 jack the lion roaring his last  

 like a vision sent from the past  

 bedside, crying, holding his hands  

 strong hands
