One summer day
He passed away
His beating heart at last had failed him.
O'er fifty years
Thru smiles and tears
Now time has claimed another victim

But he'll live on
This gentle man
His presence felt in many places
The stories told
Will all grow old
His spirit fills the empty spaces

She sits alone
In her own home
A troubled soul whos thoughts are reeling
The light that shone
But now has gone
And all the time this bitter feeling

But he'll live on
For years to come
His name you'll hear in many places
And stories told
A heart of gold
His tales will fill the empty spaces

So heavy lie
The tears we cry
The loss we feel
As life slips by.

But time goes by
And she must try
To find a way to hide her feelings
But deep inside
The memories hide
And every night the gentle weeping

But he lives on
Her gentle man
His presence hides in many places
The stories told
Will all grow old
His spirit fills the empty spaces

And then one day
She fades away
