1. You live with us still in the rooms that you built
Along every length there lie beauty and strength
Our homes feel alive from your efforts to revive
Their long fading glory, now they're part of the story
Of your time here with us

1st Chorus:
We miss the hamburgs, hotdogs, and conversation on your lawn
And hearing your pickup head for the Cape at the crack of dawn
It's so difficult to get used to the sad fact that you're gone
But your creations and our memories will continue to live on

2. We're thankful for the time that you spent with us
And grateful that you were always so generous
Imparting your wisdom, offering your advice
So practical, so versatile, and always precise

2nd Chorus:
We miss the hamburgs, hotdogs, at the parties on your lawn
And discussions of the universe at your dock on the pond
It's so difficult to get used to the sad fact that you're gone
But your creations and our memories will continue to live on
Yes, your creations and our memories will continue to live on
